President Hussein Ali Mwinyi has said Zanzibar has surpassed some targets set in the ruling CCM election manifesto, citing progress in the implementation of development projects as the government works towards fulfilling its commitments by 2030.
Dr Mwinyi said continued cooperation between CCM and the government was critical to sustaining the pace of implementation and ensuring that the party's promises translate into tangible improvements in people's lives.
He made the remarks on November 10, 2026, during a meeting with CCM Mainland Tanzania Deputy Secretary-General Aggrey Mwanri at State House in Zanzibar.
Dr Mwinyi, who is also Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and CCM Zanzibar Vice-Chairman, said implementation of the manifesto was progressing well, with various development projects being undertaken and some of the targets already exceeded.
He stressed the importance of maintaining close coordination between the party and the government to ensure that outstanding commitments are fulfilled within the manifesto's 2030 timeframe.
The meeting also provided an opportunity for Dr Mwinyi to congratulate CCM Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro on her election as Vice-President of the Council of African Political Parties (CAPP), representing East Africa.
For his part, Mr Mwanri commended Zanzibar's development progress under Dr Mwinyi's leadership, saying implementation of the CCM manifesto was reflected in projects addressing citizens' needs and supporting economic and social development.
He said the ongoing projects demonstrated efforts to translate the party's commitments into development outcomes for the people of Zanzibar.
