Dodoma. The race for the Speaker of the National Assembly of the United Republic of Tanzania is heating up within the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), with fierce competition between outgoing leaders, Speaker Dr Tulia Ackson and Deputy Speaker Mussa Zungu.
While the contest rages within CCM, several opposition parties are also holding meetings to nominate their candidates, although ACT Wazalendo has confirmed it will not field a nominee.
