Tanzania opposition leader declares himself winner
( TANZANIA ) : Zanzibar's main opposition presidential candidate Seif Sharif Hamad has declared himself the winner of elections on the semi-autonomous archipelago of Tanzania, ahead of any official announcement of results.
EU observers say elections in Tanzania lacked "transparency" due to a lack of communication, as the country's ruling presidential candidate took an early lead.
They are also looking into the arrests of opposition members at a tallying center.
Tanzania's ruling party presidential candidate took an early lead Tuesday as election officials counted votes in a close race for a second day, while several key ministers lost their seats.
The polls are expected to be Tanzania's tightest election ever, with the governing party facing the first major challenge to its dominance in decades
