Dar es Salaam. Recent data released by Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Secretary General Emmanuel Nchimbi has raised alarm about the precarious state of opposition parties in Tanzania.
Speaking to editors on Tuesday, Dr Nchimbi presented statistics showing that in 4,265 streets, opposition parties have nominated candidates for only 3,256 positions, leaving CCM with 1,009 streets unopposed.
