JK intervenes in Zanzibar crisis

Legal experts in the country have called for a speedy resumption of the vote tallying and announcement of results of Zanzibar elections to avoid a constitutional crisis.

Since the re-introduction of multipartism elections in Zanzibar have always been controversial. Most of polls ended in chaos. In 1995 for instance, some media outlets announced that Civic United Front (CUF) has won the presidency before the same was refuted by the government.

There was no breakthrough on the Zanzibar political impasse by yesterday as the Civic United Front (CUF) SupremeCouncil insisted that the party would not go back to the polls.
