CIVIC United Front (CUF) Zanzibar presidential candidate Mr Seif Sharif Hamad has said that Tanzanians who are non-Zanzibaris will continue to live peacefully in the islands under his leadership.

“There are unfounded speculations that if I’m elected, people from the Mainland living in Zanzibar will be unsafe. We should ignore this kind of propaganda because CUF is a national party,” Mr Hamad said.

Addressing residents of Dunga village during a campaign rally, Mr Hamad said that he loves all Tanzanians and he has no plans to discriminate people from Tanzania Mainland living in Zanzibar.

“My plans to change Zanzibar within a short time include promoting unity. Demands for Zanzibar’s full political autonomy do not mean discriminating people from the Mainland,” Mr Hamad said.

He asked Zanzibaris to vote for him as he would improve the welfare of all civil servants and that Zanzibar has great opportunity for a vibrant economy.

Meanwhile, the CUF presidential hopeful said his administration, if elected, will officially declare the first isles president, late Abeid Amani Karume as Father of the Nation to have similar status with the late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere.

He said the late Mzee Karume had done a lot for Zanzibar, and he has to be officially declared Father of the Nation with great respect, and “I will implement my promise, just vote for me.”

Mr Hamad also blamed the Zanzibar government for terminating the contract with renowned lawyer and former Attorney General Mr Othman Masoud early this year for disagreeing with the proposed constitution.

He described Mr Masoud as an important Zanzibari fighting for the interest of Zanzibar and that it was wrong for President Ali Mohammed Shein to terminate his contract just because he was against some clauses of the proposed constitution.
