The Delegation of the European Union has said expressed its disappointment over cancellation of the Zanzibar election results.
According to the statement released today in Dar es Salaam, the delegation supports the statement issued by the international observer missions yesterday.
The EU said in the statement that it is very concerned by the decision by ZEC Chairman to annul the election results because before he took such a move there were no any indication of irregularities.
The statement adds that the move to annul the results was amazing since all the international observers gave a positive assessment of the quality of the voting process.
“The Delegation of the European Union calls on ZEC to find a way forward that respects the will expressed by the Zanzibar people in the polls on October 26,” reads part of the statement.
It further urges ZEC to resume and complete the tallying and announcement of vote results swiftly.
It also calls on the CCM and CUF leadership to let their supporters remain calm, while they plan for constructive dialogue as the primary mean to resolve differences.
“The two political parties, as members of the Government of National Unity of Zanzibar, should make every effort to preserve the democratic and economic gains acquired following many years of effort,” says the statement.
