Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo has suspended all campaign activities in Bumbwini Constituency today, following the death of Mr. Abass Ali Hassan Mwinyi, the brother of Zanzibar President Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi.
Mr. Abass, who was also the parliamentary candidate for Fuoni Constituency under the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), is expected to be laid to rest in Bumbwini.
In a statement issued on Thursday September 25, ACT Wazalendo said it had decided to call off its public rally and other scheduled campaign events in the constituency “out of respect, solidarity, and human dignity.”
