Dar es Salaam. The top leadership of ACT-Wazalendo yesterday retreated to Zanzibar for a closed-door meeting to deliberate on the country’s political situation following the October 29 General Election, including whether the party should join the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Sources told The Citizen’s sister newspaper, Mwananchi that the session may reach a definitive position on the party’s entry, or non-entry, into the GNU, which is provided for in the Zanzibar Constitution of 1984, as amended in 2010.
