Morogoro. As campaigns for the October General Election enter their third day, Presidential Candidate for Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), President Samia Suluhu Hassan, has reaffirmed that her party does not indulge in empty talk but fulfils every pledge it makes.

Her remarks underline CCM’s long-held stance as she reiterated the direction of her leadership once elected for a second term as Tanzania’s seventh President, following the official launch of the presidential campaign on October 28, 2025 in Dar es Salaam.

Among her 100-day priorities are laying the groundwork for a new constitution-making process, implementing the National Water Grid, rolling out universal health insurance, and covering treatment costs for cancer, kidney and heart diseases for underprivileged Tanzanians.

Beyond these national commitments, President Samia pledged to restore Morogoro as an industrial hub, resolve land disputes—particularly between farmers and pastoralists—and improve access to clean water and other essential services in the region.

Speaking in both Morogoro and Dodoma on Saturday, August 30, 2025 President Samia stressed that CCM’s strength lies in its ability to translate words into action.

While addressing residents in Kibaigwa, Kongwa District, Dodoma, she highlighted key development projects already implemented, including the construction of a power substation from Gairo to Kongwa, which has improved access to electricity in the area.

“The CCM government does not make empty promises. When we commit, we deliver. I urge you to elect CCM—go ward by ward, village by village, street by street, house by house—let us vote for the three pillars,” she said.

In Kongwa, where farming and livestock are the backbone of livelihoods, she promised 10 new livestock markets, 35 dip tanks, four abattoirs, and expanded electricity access across all hamlets in the district. Plans also include building 10 new health centres, 21 dispensaries, a District Hospital, and more schools to match the growing population.

“My appeal to you is this: for development to continue effectively, come October 29, every registered voter must turn out and vote for Chama Cha Mapinduzi—the party that speaks and delivers,” she said.

Earlier in Kilosa District, Morogoro Region, President Samia pledged to expand grazing land for pastoralists from 3.46 million to 6 million acres in order to end recurring farmer-herder conflicts. She cited Mvomero District’s success with its ‘Tutunzane’ conflict-resolution programme and vowed to extend the initiative to Kilosa.

Highlighting redistribution of idle farms, she noted that out of 53,475 acres repossessed, 21,872 acres were surveyed and allocated for farming, settlement and investment. A total of 8,557 people from 186 groups in 11 villages have already benefited, with more allocations underway.

“I assure you, land distribution will be done fairly, without favour or injustice. Those with grievances will be considered and given plots,” she told a cheering crowd.

In Gairo Constituency, she urged residents to vote CCM to consolidate achievements made over the past five years, including progress in health, education, water supply and infrastructure.

If re-elected, she promised to complete outstanding projects, such as the Robeho–Kisihi road, and add five more health centres in the area.

“Let us work together. On October 29, 2025 go and vote for Chama Cha Mapinduzi. Elect the President, MPs, and councillors under CCM so we can continue steering the nation forward,” said President Samia.
