Tanzania's opposition Chadema, plaintiffs clash over status of court ban

Dar es Salaam/Arusha. A legal dispute has emerged over the status of a court order barring opposition party Chadema from conducting political activities, following conflicting interpretations by the party’s leadership and lawyers representing the plaintiffs who obtained the order.

The disagreement follows a public statement by Chadema’s chief legal counsel, Dr Rugemeleza Nshala, who said the injunction was valid for only six months and has since expired.
