The opposition party ACT-Wazalendo has initiated internal consultations with party leaders to discuss the implementation of a historic political reconciliation agreement signed with the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).This marks the beginning of a new chapter in Zanzibar’s political landscape.

The National Chairman, Othman Masoud Othman, convened meetings with leaders from Unguja to explain the accord’s contents and steps for implementation.The agreement, signed on July 9 at the State House in Zanzibar, aims to restore public confidence in political institutions after recent elections.Key reforms include legal system changes, public service restructuring, and electoral boundary adjustments.A joint committee with CCM representatives will oversee implementation through legislation approved by the Zanzibar House of Representatives.Othman emphasized that the process requires sustained commitment to rebuild trust and ensure the people’s interests are upheld.The negotiations, which began in November 2025, involved 14 formal meetings and aimed to address divisions caused by the 2025 General Election.ACT-Wazalendo plans to rejoin the Government of National Unity after the committee’s work, ensuring terms are clearly defined.
