Less than four years remain before Dr. Jakaya Kikwete completes his second presidential term. And as the constitution bars the incumbent president to contest in the next general election. Tanzanians are eagerly waiting to see who will be the next man to carry the green flag. This next man will surely needs the energy and caliber to eliminate the rift within the ruling party. Chama Cha Mapinduzi is surely in deep crisis more than ever in the history of this country. Yesterday Edward said that, today Nape says this, and tomorrow Ezekiel Maige will say that. They contradict each other now and then, they accuse each other now and then, they call names each other now and then, mara huyu ni gamba, mara huyu ni fisadi. it just chaos now and then, yaani every thing is hovyo hovyo.
Now i understand why Rostam Aziz once brand politics within the green flag as siasa uchwara. What we witness daily on newspapers & tv's is not only siasa uchwara but hizi ni siasa mipasho. This surely damages the historic good branding of the green party. Nobody seems to respect the protocols any more. Now days it is normal thing to hear the junior member of uvccm telling his bosses through newspapers what to do and what not to do. This is crisis for sure. I admire chairman Kikwete when it comes to giving the green party members the freedom of expressing their views but unfortunately the same members are abusing that given right, now it is the time for chairman Kikwete to step up and muscles his authority. It is not too late as three years period is well enough to repair everything.
Now, let me come to the main point regarding the right candidate to succeed chairman Kikwete. On my point view this guy possess necessary caliber and respect to bring together the divided party. He is neutral when it comes to blocks within the party. He is the former ambassador of Tanzania to the United Nations. He is the current United Nations special representative for Somalia. In 1971 He earned a bachelor of arts (education) at the University of East Africa in Dar-es-Salaam. That same year he completed his Masters of Arts ( Education) at the University of Toronto. He received his Phd in International Relations in 1975. He is married and has three children.
His name is Augustine Philip Mahiga. He is my choice to succeed president kikwete.
