Dodoma. Three Chadema leaders in Dodoma Urban District are being held by police for allegedly failing to prevent their supporters from dispersing into the streets and chanting songs critical of the ruling party, CCM, following a public rally addressed by Chadema deputy chairperson John Heche on June 8, 2025.

The rally was held at Mtekelezo Grounds after the organisers obtained the necessary permit.
