CHADEMAs leadership is contemplating whether or not to field a candidate to contest a Parliamentary Seat in Mlele constituency , which Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda passed unopposed on CCM ticket.
Chadema Deputy Chairperson, Mr Said Arfi said that party leadership found it difficult to reach a compromise whether to field a candidate for Melele Constituency.
Mlele constituency, formerly Mpanda East, is located in the newly established Katavi Region.
However, as the party was undecided over fielding a candidate for Mlele constituency, one of the its members, Mr Sebastian Kasinge, on Monday picked nomination forms from Mpanda District Executive Director vying for Parliamentary Seat for the constituency.
Commenting on Kasinge move, Mr Arfi said Chadema had stopped him (Kasinge) from contesting because he had not received the party blessings.
According to the partys regulations, Chademas National Executive Committee (NEC) was the only organ with mandate to nominate candidates for Parliamentary and councillorship seats.
Mr Arfi said he had already met with Mlele and Mpanda District elders and religious leaders seeking their opinion whether Chadema should field a candidate to contest with Mr Pinda at Mlele constituency. He, however, declined to disclose the outcome of the meeting.
Mr Arfi is also expected to defend his Mpanda Urban (formerly Mpanda Central). Mpanda urban had fallen into the hands of opposition Chadema since the 2005 general elections....
