Geita. The main opposition party, Chadema, yesterday suffered a major political blow after one of its senior leaders, Mr Ezekiah Wenje, defected to the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), in a move that coincided with President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s campaign tour in the mineral-rich Geita Region.
While in Geita, President Hassan unveiled an ambitious plan to transform the area into an industrial and economic powerhouse.
