Mbowe is currently admitted at Dodoma Christian Medical centre where he is receiving treatment with images showing his right leg in a cast.
" We are working on modalities of how to airlift him to Dar es Salaam for further treatment, " said Esther Bulaya.
“We are asking our supporters to saty calm because there were certain words that his attackers were uttering, but I dont think it is normal and okay to attack leaders at their homes," said Esther Bulaya.
According to Iringa Urban MP Peter Msigwa , he was at the Party Chairman's home last evening together with, Godbless Lema , Joseph Mbilinyi and John Heche .
"After our meeting which ended late in the night we left, he was attacked in the staircase," said Msigwa
