 ZANZIBAR, Tanzania (AP) - Zanzibar's incumbent president and his party were declared the winners Tuesday of general elections marred by violence and allegations of fraud, with officials saying nine people were killed in the latest clashes.
Seif Shariff Hamad of the main opposition Civic United Front said five supporters died on the Zanzibar archipelago's second island, Pemba, on Tuesday. A member of the government security force said four of his colleagues were killed on Pemba. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Incumbent President Amani Abeid Karume of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi won 53.2 percent of the vote, while Hamad had 46.1 percent, according to electoral chief Masauni Yussuf Massauni.
