Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s ruling party, CCM, closed its window for receiving and returning nomination forms from aspirants seeking the party’s endorsement in October’s general election on Wednesday, capping a dramatic window marked by unexpected announcements, political comebacks and bold moves by public servants.
The biggest surprise came from Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa, who announced that he will not seek re-election as Member of Parliament for Ruangwa, Lindi Region, a seat he has held since 2010.
