On Friday 16 October 2020, I officially endorsed Chadema presidential candidate, Tundu Lissu, to be the next president of the United Republic of Tanzania. ACT Wazalendo structures across the mainland and Zanzibar will be recommending that our supporters vote for Tundu Lissu on the ballot for the Union Presidency.
Since the start of the official campaign period, it has become abundantly clear that Tundu Lissu stands the best chance of beating President Magufuli in the presidential election. His platform aligns in large part with that of ACT Wazalendo’s, particularly with our focus on growing the economy, creating universal access to quality healthcare and rebuilding our education system to create better opportunities for our children to live decent lives.
Despite the unfairness and threats we face, we as the opposition will continue the struggle for freedom. The stakes are far too high for us to give in. And evidence abounds that from Arusha to Lindi, Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, Unguja to Pemba, the people of our nation want change. This has been by no means an easy or straightforward election period. Already, a strong case can be made that the election is not free and fair. The National Electoral Commission and the Zanzibar Electoral Commission have both sought to do the CCM’s bidding by disqualifying candidates for spurious and ridiculous reasons that would not withstand an independent judicial review. Violence has pervaded the campaign trail with opposition candidates being attacked and abducted.
Tanzania avoided tribalism since independence. These new age clowns need a lot more than their desperate attempts in sowing divisions between Tanzanian people to win. Tanzanians don't understand their hate speech.

OPINIONISTA: Addressing xenophobia is everybody’s businessThe National Action Plan needs to be implemented across all government departments to combat xenophobic violence. And that includes the Gauteng provincial government, whose Township Economic Development Bill unfairly discriminates on the basis of nationality and citizenship and clearly demonstrates how much work needs to be done at all levels of government.
