Moshi. The debate over Tanzania’s stalled constitutional review process has resurfaced with force as the Civic United Front (CUF) makes it the centrepiece of its 2025 General Election campaign, promising to deliver a new people-driven constitution within three months of assuming office.
CUF’s pledge comes more than a decade after the review process collapsed in 2014, when the Constituent Assembly, chaired by the late Samuel Sitta, endorsed the Proposed Constitution.
