Africa-Press – Tanzania. The Deputy Chairman of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Mainland Tanzania, Stephen Wasira, has noted that the party is currently focused on winning the ongoing General Elections, as the internal opinion poll process has already been completed.
He made the statement, while speaking to party leaders during an internal meeting in Arusha on Sunday, where he emphasised the importance of unity, saying there is no reason for divisions anymore.
During the meeting, Mr Wasira explained the entire opinion poll process to the members and how candidates for parliamentary and council positions were selected.
“Our biggest task is to ensure victory, so divisions should stop because the opinion polls are over. Right now, our main focus is to see that CCM wins, and everything else we do is part of the process to achieve that goal,” he stated.
He added, “We should not lose focus because of internal procedures.”
Furthermore, he urged members who were dissatisfied with the internal results to remain calm, noting that leadership and deciding who gets selected and who does not is a difficult and challenging task that should be appreciated.
“This work is not easy, and we must remember that those involved are not angels. It is important to recognize their efforts given the complexity of the work,” he said.
He further explained that although the internal election is over, it is important to understand that those selected are not necessarily better than those who were not.
“This party has many capable people. Even if you replace the selected ones with others, many more qualified individuals will come forward,” he said.
