A betrayal debt and the exclusion of the main opponents in Tanzania before October.
The electoral commission Tansania has equipped the main opposition party Chadema, Chadema, from the elections to the president and the parliamentary elections, which are to take place later this year.
The Independent National Elections Commission (INEC) announced the decision on Saturday and explained that the party did not sign a mandatory code of conduct by the required period for the surveys provided for in October.
“Every party that has not signed the code of conduct will not take part in the general elections,” said Ramadhani Kailima, the Commission’s election director and added that the disqualification extends to all post -election by 2030.
There was no immediate reaction from Chadema.
The announcement takes place days after the Chadema leader Tundu Lissu was charged with betrayal, was accused of controlling rebellion and trying to prevent the elections from getting forward.
The prosecutors claimed that he asked the public to take measures against the coordination, even though he was not permitted to enter a plea. The indictment has the possibility of a death sentence.
Lissu, a former presidential candidate, has long been a vocal critic of the leading party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and her guide, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who is looking for a second term.
Chadema had already warned that it would boycott the polls unless sensible election reforms were introduced.
On the Saturday, the party confirmed that it would not take part in the signing ceremony for the code of the behavior, which describes the move as part of its wider campaign for changes in the implementation of elections.
It is expected that the disqualification of Chadema and the betrayal against his leader raises new questions about the state of democracy in the East African nation.
Human rights organizations and opposition groups have accused the government of holding Dissens and led a pattern of inexplicable kidnapping and murders of political activists.
President Hassan’s government has contested any role in these alleged abuse and claims that it is obliged to maintain human rights. CCM has repeatedly rejected allegations to undermine the opposition or manipulate the election process.
