Uchaguzi 2020 Open letter to the National Electoral Commission of Tanzania

Open Letter to the National Electoral Commission of Tanzania - Robert Amsterdam

Today Robert Amsterdam has issued the following open letter to Winston Charles, the Director of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) of Tanzania, on behalf of his client the presidential candidate Tundu Lissu.

The letter states: “We write to express our growing concern about the National Electoral Commission’s (“NEC”) systematic disqualification of opposition candidates, particularly members of the CHADEMA party, in the October 2020 general elections. We are deeply troubled by the National Electoral Commission’s disqualification of these candidates in breach of the National Elections Act and international human rights law.”

Amsterdam’s letter continues: “It has come to our attention that 1,020 CHADEMA candidates for chancellorships were disqualified by the National Electoral Commission out of 3,574 CHADEMA potential candidates. This represents an appalling disqualification rate of 28.5%. So too, the Commission has disqualified 53 CHADEMA candidates for Parliament out of 244 nominees, a 21.7% disqualification rate. These troubling disqualifications are not just limited to CHADEMA candidates and include other opposition parties as well. We note that 47 ACT-Wazalendo candidates were also disqualified. In contrast, the vast majority of governing party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (“CCM”) candidates were approved. The shocking disparity of treatment in the approval of CCM and opposition candidates is blatant and deeply problematic.”

Who the hell is Robert Amsterdam?
 
Hiyo haikuwandikwa na mwanasheria kwa sababu imejaa hisia kuliko sheria. Ningetegemea aandike kuwa sheria hazikufuatwa lakini anasema tu kuwa waliongeliwa ni wengi kupita kiasi bila kusema sababu za kuenguliwa kwao kama ni za kisheria au siyo za kiesheria.

Uenguaji wa wagombea bila msingi wowote wa kisheria siyo mzuri kwa sababu siyo tu unajenga picha kuwa viongozi wanaopatikana hawakuchaguliwa na wananchi bali walipita kwa njia dubious, ila inaweza pia kusababisha wananchi wasishirikiane na viongozi hao. Lakini barua hii na jinsi wagombea wanaoenguliwa wanavyoa kabiliana na uenguaji wa majina yao ni weak sana. Jana nilikuwa nasikiliza hotuba moja ya Pole pole akisema CCM waliepeleka wanasheria 72 kwenda kuwasaidia wagombea wao huko Zanzibar kunajaza form vizuri kwa mujibu wa sheria. Kwa nini CHADEMA nayo isiwe na wanasheria kuwasaidia wagombea wao? Kama tunataka tume inayofuata katiba na sheria za nchi, inabidi na sisi wenyewe tuheshimu na kufuata sheria za nchi, siyo kuzifuata tu pale zinapotufurahisha.
Mkuu kuna wengine zilikataliwA kupokelewa , Nawengine wasimamizi hawakuwepo ofcn, pia Naomba unisaidie kwa mgombea wa ccm deo Mwanyika ambae alikutwa na jinai na leo tume imempitisha japo alikatiwa rufaa, akili haifikir hayo

There is no need for the NEC to expose the country to international criticism, at the same time sacrificing the country's welfare to chaos, violence, and bloodshed for the benefit of the ruling party. This is unacceptable. The commission has ample time to re-address the situation and extend the necessary justice to those who are unfairly disqualified.
 
A
umeunga tu! mwanasheria hawezi kuandika barua isiyokuwa na msingi wa kisheria. Inawezekana ni mwanasheria anayetafuta kujulikana Tanzania kwa kuandika pumba kama hizo mara kwa mara.
Au kama vile tume ilivotoa majibu ya rufaa ya Lissu dhidi ya jiwe, yalikuwa majibu ya ovyo sana yalikosa uhalali wa vifungu vya sheriaa
 
Lisu tutamjibu wananchi kwamba huyo beberu wake si lolote hapa tz na tutailinda nchi yetu dhidi ya vibaraka aina yake
Kwa hiyo unatetea dhuluma na vurugu? Utawajibika kweli kwa yote yatakayotokea? Sisi haututaki tufike huko.

mtailinda wewe na nani? mapolisi? sahau ndugu!

tunapoelekea October 28, sasa hivi umma ndiyo umeshika hatamu. ndiyo maana mgombea wenu kanywea vibaya sana ule ubabe kwisha habari yake - yaani Lissu kamuondolea confidence yote.
jana tu baada ya kuusoma upepo akasinyaa mwenyewe akaona atumie turufu ya kumpelekea Lissu "love letter" hadharani!

Tundu Lissu kawashika MATAGA kunako...

Mwaka huu lazima mfurahi tu!

Hatitaruhusu kibaraka yeyote atawale nchi hii kwa matamko na matakwa ya vibeberu vyake toka ubelgiji!

Tutailinda na kuitetea nchi yetu hii ya tz dhidi ya kibaraka yeyote.

Na oktoba tutamrudisha alikotoka.

Tunajua alienda kwa matibabu, lakini cha ajabu karudi na beberu hili ndio hasa litatufanya tumrudishe kwa huyo beberu wake

kuleni vya mwisho mwisho kabla Lissu hajawafurusha October!
 
Huyo Amsterdam aache kiherehere!

Uchaguzi wetu yeye unamhusu nini?

Naona kuna kitu anakitafuta. Na atakipata tu...
Mkuu do you have a slightest idea of who is paying this guy ? Maana ni wakili ghali sana duniani! Am sure Lisu hana fedha ya kumlipa.
