Zanzibar: 12 opposition parties form new alliance

Twelve political parties operating in Zanzibar yesterday revived their ‘alliance’ vowing to win the next Zanzibar general elections by strengthening the partnership including placing one candidate for presidency. “There is no way we can manage to remove the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) from power in Zanzibar without reviving our alliance and field one candidate for presidency,” the parties leaders said at a meeting.
