President Magafuli Will Only Want Good News as Tanzanian Election Announced


We can be sure president Magufuli is going to be looking for good news over the coming weeks and months and what better way to start by signing off the farm-out for Aminex
Following his words over the weekend to speed up
agreement processes for foreign investment, it now looks as if the ducks are finally lining up for Aminex.  From their PR source it's rumoured the signing is imminent and expected before the end of this month, which falls nicely inline with the recent two week extention. The pre notified plan is to carry out 3d Seismic survey prior to drilling but the source said that the spud is still anticipated to take place this year.

As the Monitor reports...
Tanzanians will go to the polls to vote in presidential and local elections on October 28, the electoral commission has announced.
The National Electoral Commission (NEC) Chairman Semistockles Kaijage also announced in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday that campaigns for both the presidential and parliamentary elections will run for two months, ending on the eve of the 2020 general election.
“Election campaigns will officially start on August 26 to October 27 this year… The general election will be held on Wednesday, October 28,” said Mr Kaijage.
The election will for the first time be held on a weekday after faith-based organisations called for the change of day to allow room for worship activities at the weekend.
Traditionally, Tanzanians vote on the last Sunday of October every five years, which falls on October 25 this year.
According to the election timetable, nominations for presidential candidates and their running mates will be held on August 25.
