The top brass of Tanzania’s main opposition party Chadema began a two-day meeting in Dar es Salaam on Thursday, amid signs of an impending showdown over who to field against the ruling party’s candidate in next year’s presidential election.
The Central Committee gathering was triggered by vice-chairperson Tundu Lissu’s surprise announcement a fortnight ago that he was set to mount a second challenge for the presidency in 2025, this time against President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
