Afrika Kusini: Jacob Zuma akosa kibali cha Tume ya Uchaguzi kuwania tena Urais

[Miss Zomboko]

Maafisa wa tume ya uchaguzi nchini Afrika Kusini Alhamisi walisema kwamba wamemuondoa rais wa zamani Jacob Zuma kwenye kiny’anganyiro cha uchaguzi wa mwezi Mei, na hivyo kuzua mvutano katika maandalizi ya uchaguzi huo.

Nchi hiyo itafanya uchaguzi mkuu tarehe 29 Mei, uchaguzi ambao unatarajiwa kuwa na ushindani mkubwa zaidi tangu ujio wa demokrasia mwaka 1994


JOHANNESBURG: South Africa’s Electoral Commission said Thursday it has disqualified former President Jacob Zuma from contesting for a seat in parliament in the forthcoming election to be held on May 29.

The commission said it has notified Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party that he is not eligible to contest for a seat in parliament, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

South Africa’s constitution does not allow an individual convicted for more than a year to hold public office.

In July 2021, Zuma was sentenced to 15 months in jail for contempt of court for refusing to testify before a judicial commission investigating corruption during his nearly decade-long presidency.

He was, however, released from prison on medical parole after just two months to serve his sentence under house arrest.

Zuma, 81, led the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and the country for nearly a decade but announced last December he would not vote or campaign for the party in the May 2024 elections.

The Electoral Commission said Zuma has now until April 2 to appeal against his ineligibility.

Kawa disqualified kuwania ubunge. Siyo urais.

Kwa mujibu wa habari iliyoletwa ambayo inatofautiana na kichwa cha habari.

 

[TANMO]

Miaka 81 na Bado anatamani Madaraka?

Pathetic indeed.

Kawa disqualified kuwania ubunge. Siyo urais.

Kwa mujibu wa habari iliyoletwa ambayo inatofautiana na kichwa cha habari.

Uko sahihi, kichwa cha habari kinahitaji marekebisho kidogo kwa sababu kwa mujibu wa katiba ya South Africa, urais unapatikana bungeni baada ya uchaguzi mkuu wa wabunge.

Hata hivyo, akiwa disqualified kuwania ubunge automatically hata huo urais hatoupata.
