Youth officials in Zanzibar warned young voters against emotional responses as the islands prepare for general elections on Wednesday. Director of Youth Development Shaib Ibrahim Mohamed addressed participants at a Pamoja Youth Initiative forum held at Zanzibar Beach Resort.
Mohamed said manipulators frequently target youth to create disorder before elections. He asked attendees to promote stability rather than engage with provocative messages as ballots are cast for national offices.
Representatives from district youth organizations attended the gathering alongside civil society advocates and government officials. Speakers outlined strategies for conducting peaceful voting across Zanzibar's electoral precincts.
