Regarding challenges facing the party, the new chairperson said she will ensure that immediate solutions were sought, including working equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that some districts and regions do not have vehicles, something that makes it difficult for them to deliver,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>President Samia also pledged to solve the challenge of poor working stipends, payment of arrears, transfer allowances as well as retirement packages to people who dedicated their lives for the party.<\/p>\n<p>Elaborating on the achievements recorded by the party, the chairperson said CCM had increased it\u2019s assets from 120bn\/- to 1tril\/-.<\/p>\n<p>This, she noted, came as a result of the party\u2019s initiative to make verification of the party\u2019 assets and liabilities, an exercise that was keenly conducted. Currently, she added, the party had a capital of 12 million members countrywide, leading amongst parties with many members, thus it was duty bound to push for the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to ask my fellow leaders within the party to refrain from engaging in unnecessary disputes pitting public servants and their people. Instead you should act as a bridge in solving peoples\u2019 problems,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The new chairperson asked all leaders to ensure that all the promises that were given during the 2020 General Election were implemented, because by doing so, it becomes quite easy to clinch a landslide victory come 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The landslide victory was announced by member of the party\u2019s Central Committee (CC) and National Assembly Speaker Job Ndugai. He said total general members were 1,876 and legal votes cast were 1,862.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were no votes against her that were cast. Therefore, Ms Samia has garnered all 1,862 votes, which is equivalent to 100 percent of cast votes,\u201d announced Mr Ndugai.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Speaker of the Zanzibar\u2019s House of Representatives, Zubeir Ali Maulidi declared victory of Ms Happiness Mgongo and Ms Rehema Simba as new members of the National Executive Council (NEC) after collecting 839 and 867 votes respectively, defeating four other candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Defeated candidates and their votes in brackets are; Kulwa Majiyabululu (403); Ashraf Sadru (434); Nguvu Chengula (542) and Salumu Ngezi (577).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
