AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> CCM Presidential Candidate Dr John Magufuli has requested his party members to embrace ethical and civilised campaigns and refrain from acts that could plunge the country into violence.<\/p>\n

The ruling party aspirant, who seeks re-election in the much-anticipated October 28 General Elections, made the request on Tuesday in Makambako, Njombe region, during a campaign rally –expressing sadness over recent brutal killing of the party\u2019s cadre, Emmanuel Mlelwa.<\/p>\n

President Magufuli asserted that Mlelwa who was CCM\u2019s youth leader for Universities was killed because of his love and commitment to his party.<\/p>\n

He directed the Police Force to fast track investigations into the grisly incident and ensure that all people involved are brought to book and face full wrath of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culprits must be arrested and brought to book as soon as possible,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n

He directed all CCM members to remain calm and avoid any kind of violence during the ongoing election campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must avoid indecent language against others, let us remain calm and tell wananchi about CCM\u2019s policies that basically aim at bringing them development,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dr Magufuli added: \u201cI am glad to see people who are affiliated to Chadema, NCCR-Mageuzi, CUF, ACT-Wazalendo and even those who do not belong to any political party here, this is the kind of politics and Tanzania I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the party\u2019s Ideology and Publicity Secretary, Mr Polepole also asked the police to speed up the cadre\u2019s death investigation.<\/p>\n

He said the party is aware that Mlelwa was phoned for a meeting by some people who later kidnapped him.<\/p>\n

He added that he was later found dead at Kibena, Bwawani in Njombe Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ruling party is asking the police to speed up the probe on this matter. We are aware that some people have been arrested, but we want to see more severe actions being taken so that these kinds of brutal killings could stop once and for all,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He said the ruling party is not ready to take laws in its hands since it believes in true democracy, rule of law and regulations.<\/p>\n

Mr Polepole said, however, there is a need for the Police to take immediate measures by investigating and revealing all the truth so that the public could be aware of the dirty games that are orchestrated by some uncivilised politicians.<\/p>\n

He added that in Songwe Region, some CCM\u2019s councillors who crossed from Chadema had their crops uprooted and destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we say enough is enough, these actions must stop,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
