The opposition party, ACT Wazalendo, is making significant strides toward joining the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zanzibar, with negotiations for their entry reportedly nearing completion.

This development follows the Zanzibar government’s ongoing efforts to encourage ACT Wazalendo to join the GNU, including implementing some of the conditions the party set as prerequisites for its participation.

The formation of a unity government is a constitutional requirement under Zanzibar’s Constitution.
