Chadema: Primus inter pares or illusory superiority?

What you need to know:

  • Chadema’s leaders have been vocal about the status of their party, as the ‘main’ opposition party in the country, and that the President, or the government or CCM cannot ignore them in discussing the future of the country. I find this assertion of Chadema being the ‘main’ opposition party misleading because it is only half true.
