Dar es Salaam. The ruling party CCM enters a critical week with mounting speculation over whether it will appoint a new Secretary General to replace Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi, who is expected to focus on his new role as the running mate to President Samia Suluhu Hassan in the October 2025 General Election.
Dr Nchimbi currently holds the influential position of CCM Secretary General. However, political analysts say it may be untenable for him to continue in the role while also serving as the presidential running mate, given the intense demands of the campaign period.
