Zanzibar’s main opposition party has accused the Zanzibar Electoral Commission of only releasing results for the island’s presidential elections from constituencies in which their competitors have won, the BBC reports.

The Civic United Front (CUF) says it has only won in one of the thirteen constituencies whose results have already been released.

Impatience was also reportedly evident yesterday when CUF presidential candidate Seif Sharif Hamad declared himself the winner even though the results hadn’t been announced by the electoral commission.

While electoral officials are reading out a few results today, they say that the final results won’t be announced until 8pm local time.
