In 2015, Tanzania experienced a significant shift in its political landscape with the formation of Ukawa, a coalition of opposition parties born from frustrations over stalled constitutional reforms.
The coalition was led by Chadema, with Edward Lowassa, who had defected from the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), as its presidential candidate against CCM’s John Pombe Magufuli.
