Hon. Sanjay Tanna, a prominent NRM cadre and candidate for Chairperson of the NRM Entrepreneurs League in the Central Executive Committee (CEC), has formally withdrawn from the race, citing widespread irregularities that he says have compromised the credibility of the election.
In a letter addressed to the NRM Secretary General and copied to the Chairperson of the NRM Electoral Commission, Tanna said the process had been “fatally compromised” by malpractice and the deliberate inaccessibility of the voter base.
“Together with fellow candidates, I first submitted a joint petition on 17th August, later raised the same concerns before CEC during vetting on 21st August, and again through my formal letter of 23rd August to your office. In all these submissions, I highlighted grave irregularities, including the bribery and ferrying of voters outside the country, and the fact that the majority of the voter base was rendered inaccessible by being scattered in hotels and denied to candidates for lawful engagement,” Tanna wrote.
