Since conceding defeat in Nigeria’s 2015 presidential election, former President Goodluck Jonathan has undertaken his first international assignment as chairman of the Commonwealth observer group to the general elections in Tanzania. He speaks on the electoral process in that country.
When he was asked how does he feels as chairman of the Commonwealth Observer Group being your first international assignment after handing over back in Nigeria?
I am honored to have chaired the Commonwealth observer mission during such significant elections for the people of the United Republic of Tanzania. Our presence here reaffirms the Commonwealth’s support to the country and its democratic process. The Commonwealth observer group commends the people of Tanzania for the peaceful and orderly manner in which they exercised their rights to vote on October 25th, 2015.
On 23 October, our teams were deployed throughout Tanzania to observe the election environment and preparations. The Commonwealth teams also observed the final campaign events around the country. Our final report, which we will complete before our departure, would be issued at a later date.
