He is OK. He has been coached to project a nonpartisan statesmanlike image beyond the confines of CHADEMA. He did his best but the facts are just against him. Going to Mwanza on an anti-sukumagang ticket is madness. Singing the praise of Samia is correct because she DID lift the ban, but it still does not explain how CHADEMA squandered 100+ MPs and Tundu lost 87%/13% to JPM. The CHADEMA version is to justify the loss saying there was no tumehuru or katibampya, which fails because there was not even a single appeal but the Judges are not in the tumehuru spin. Mbowe is going to prove is that they lost fair and square - THAT is why Tundu and Heche are against him.
