Othman, who contested the presidency under the ACT Wazalendo banner in the election held on October 29, thanked the people and party members in Pemba for their patience and endurance throughout the electoral process.

“I have nothing to repay the members and leaders who worked so hard. Truly, we have nothing that can match the effort you put in. We carried out campaigns to convince all Zanzibaris, as one people, to vote for us,” he said.

“The leaders and agents of ACT-Wazalendo did an excellent job with unity of purpose. I urge you to continue maintaining peace and to thank Allah for the safety you’ve had after the election,” he added.
