Mwalimu’s nomination as CHAUMMA’s presidential candidate is expected to quell speculation that the party might front Freeman Mbowe, whose recent political silence had sparked rumors.
One pivotal moment that many have revisited in assessing Ndugai’s legacy is the unprecedented 2017 assassination attempt on Lissu, a dark episode in Tanzania’s political history.
Kati ya wajumbe 357 waliohudhuria mkutano huo waliopiga kura walikuwa 340 ambapo Mwalimu alipata kura 336 za ndio na kura 4 za hapana. Huku Devotha Minja yeye alipata kura 335 za ndio huku kura za hapana zikiwa 6.
The decision comes just two days after the left-leaning opposition party welcomed the former Kisesa lawmaker following his defection from the ruling CCM.
