Lowassa Strikes Back on Vote Guarding Controversy

 

 CHADEMA presidential candidate Edward Lowassa told thousands of his supporters in Mbeya City to hang around the polling stations after casting their ballot to ensure their victory is not stolen. Mr Lowassa has been in four day campaign and yesterday was in Mbeya City which boasts over 1.3 million registered voters, he asked the supporters to vote for him in large numbers on October 25.

National Electrol Commission and President Kikwete have asked voters to cast their ballot then return home to wait for the results, but Mr Lowassa addressed the issue yesterday and he told his voters to do otherwise.

"Firstly go and got for me en-mas so that in an event of them trying to steal votes they won't match our numbers. Secondly don't take things for granted and as Mbowe ( CHADEMA national chairman) has constantly been telling you, stand firm 200 metres away from the polling center to await the announcement of the results." He said
