Mulumbe urged residents to vote for him and parliamentary candidate Shaabani Itutu on October 29, promising to improve living standards and provide women with access to affordable loans
Mwanza. The Alliance for Democratic Change (ADC) has promised that, if elected, it will transform Mwanza City into both a paradise of better living and a national hub for economic growth.
The pledge was made on Sunday, 7 September 2025, by ADC presidential candidate Wilson Elias Mulumbe while addressing party branches in Ilemela ahead of the official launch of their campaign, scheduled for later today at Pasiansi bus stand grounds.
“When we are entrusted to lead this country, Mwanza City will be a paradise. We will improve living standards and make Mwanza a hub for economic development. I urge you to vote for me on 29 October and also for our parliamentary candidate in Ilemela,” Mr Mulumbe said. He appealed for support for ADC’s parliamentary candidate, Shaabani Itutu, pledging to address challenges such as women’s access to affordable loans.
“As a government, we will provide loans with very favourable terms and improve public school education so that university graduates can teach in primary schools,” he added.
Mr Itutu, who is also ADC National Chairman, said the party would use national resources to improve social services, including health and water supply.
“It is unacceptable for Mwanza residents to go a whole week without water when the lake is just two kilometres away. Likewise, women entrepreneurs should not be taxed on small businesses that support their families. If ADC wins, we will remove all such taxes and establish fair systems to boost the economy,” he said.
He added that healthcare services would be free for all, as is the case in Zanzibar. “Zanzibar’s economy relies on the sea, yet its citizens receive free healthcare. On the mainland, we have minerals, fertile land, and abundant resources—why should we fail?” Itutu asked. ADC vice-presidential candidate Shoka Khamis Juma urged Ilemela residents to bring about change by voting for the party.
“For years, you have been electing the same people who cause you problems. They sit comfortably, waiting for their allowances, with no concern for the struggles of their constituents,” Mr Juma said.
