Former President Jonathan Pictured Observing The Tanzanian Presidential Elections

Former President Jonathan, who is the Chairman of the Commonwealth Observer Group for the Tanzanian presidential election holding today is pictured interacting with some of Tanzania’s election monitoring group right before the commencement of the elections.

The former President had urged those vying for that country’s presidential election to promptly accept the outcome should they be defeated in the October 25 election. “If you lose, accept defeat,” he admonished them, warning that any attempt to reject the will of the
people will only lead to chaos and affect the peace and unity of Tanzania.

Jonathan, who has been speaking with election stakeholders in Dar es Salaam, comprising the chairman of the electoral commission, leaders of political parties, journalists, youth organisations and the civil society, said it was imperative for them to realize that all stakeholders must play their part for the election to be free and fair.
