Chadema’s Lissu pledges to deliver new constitution at Kigoma rally

What you need to know:

In his speech, he described ACT- Wazalendo candidate Zitto Kabwe as one of the candidates, who are capable of defending the opposition’s stronghold.

He said through the constitution, Chadema would reduce the powers of the president to enable the people to have the power of deciding their
own affairs. And to achieve that, the firebrand
politician, who survived an assassi- nation attempt in 2017, urged the people in the region to turn out in large numbers come October 28 with a view to removing CCM from power, a move that would lead to re- writing of the constitution. “In this election we must make sure that we remove CCM from power. During elections people make many promises, but my prom- ise is a new constitution,” said Mr Lissu. “If you go to the polls next month, make sure that you are electing a president who will restore the pow- er of the people,” he added. He said in the last five years, CCM has held back development and har- assed Tanzanians.
