Chadema battles internal strife as Tanzania heads to civic elections
Tanzania's main opposition party CHADEMA chairman Freeman Mbowe and opposition leader and former presidential candidate Tundu Lissu at the Buliaga grounds in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on January 25, 2023.
Tanzania’s main opposition party, Chadema, will head into next week’s local government elections embroiled in internal wrangles, and facing a battlefield with the odds heavily stacked against the movement.
The poll for grassroots seats will be held on November 27, and all the signs suggest it will be another shoo-in for the ruling CCM party following a landslide victory in 2019.
