DR SHEIN IS READY FOR COALITION GOVERNMENT

Zanzibar. Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) will emerge victorious in the Sunday General Election, the party’s Zanzibar presidential candidate, Dr Ali Mohamed Shein, has said.

Dr Shein made the prediction in an interview with the German state-owned radio Deutsche Welle in Zanzibar yesterday evening.

He said CCM has a ten-year policy in place and a first rate manifesto that addresses the economy, education, agriculture and industry sectors.

He stated that the formation of a government of national unity which has been agreed upon in the Isles was not something new.

He said he had also talked on the issue in his campaign rallies on the clove Islands. He said he had no problem working with the Civic United Front presidential candidate, Mr Seif Sharif Hamad.

However, he admitted that the Zanzibar Constitution had not explained the duration of the government of national unity, saying the issue was in the hands of Zanzibaris themselves.

Dr Shein brushed aside suggestions that the government of national unity could be the source of dampening democracy in the Isles.

He said governments of national unity have been formed all over the world and had proven not to be the source of impinging democracy.
