CCM with its difficulties on political renewal

What you need to know:

The political culture within CCM is rarely based on meritocracy. Party members make their choices after the party’s top organs have had their say

While it has an enviable record of intra-party elections where, from time to time, some new faces emerge, this rarely happens without the blessing of the power brokers and real decision makers. The party does not provide much room for political spontaneity. In this regard, even the names of those who make it to elective offices through it are rarely about party’s renewal. It is either about survival as has been the case with its pick of presidential candidates or maintaining party discipline with its spitting of some troublesome MPs through its party primaries where some of those who caused a lot of headaches for their government in parliament find themselves easily defeated in party primaries or even where they have won do not make it through the political furnace of party decision makers in Dodoma.
