A team of 15 members from RWECO in Uganda arrived yesterday in Tanzania to observe the country’s national elections scheduled for October 30th.2010 to main offices ensure free and fair elections. The team set off from Entebbe air port at 12; 00pm aboard the precision airways and reached Mwanza at 1:00pm where three of the members remained and the rest proceeded to Arusha Zanzibar and Dares- Salaam respectively. The group of five people left Mwanza airport at 5: 00pm in the evening and arrived at Julius Nyerere International airport at 700 pm from where they were picked by the team from Legal and Human Rights Center the lead organization in election monitoring and taken to Landmark hotel where they were accommodated. According to our observations and sharing from the few people we managed to interact with, the incumbent president from the CCM party is dominating with most of his posters around and one can hardily notice the posters of the other candidates though we can not make a conclusion now. The team will be briefed on the whole process by Dr. Rose Mwapopo before they can participate in the different political rallies
