Tanzania opposition party, Chadema, says it is backing the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta in the August General Election.
Chadema, short form for Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Party for Democracy and Progress), is centre-right party that campaigns largely on an anti-corruption platform.
RAILA
Its Chairman Freeman Mbowe told the party's council meeting at the weekend that after assessment, they had concluded that Mr Kenyatta was the right candidate for presidency and a better choice for democracy in Kenya.
He said Chadema was dismayed by Kenya’s opposition leader, Mr Raila Odinga, who supported Dr John Magufuli during his presidential campaigns in the 2015 General Election.
When Mr Mbowe asked the council members how they could treat their friends’ enemies, they responded: “Also your enemy.”
Then they broke into applause.
DEMOCRACY
“We supported Raila Odinga during the 2012 elections in Kenya but to our surprise, when it came to the 2015 polls in Tanzania, he supported the CCM candidate, Dr John Magufuli. Odinga is a traitor,’’ said Mr Mbowe.
