This election is about choosing a different path for our country, We, as the citizens of this country we love, have a choice to make about the path we are going to pursue as a country. There are two candidates on the ‘spotlight' with two different paths for our country.

We are going to make a choice about whether to continue on the path we have been on, or try a new prospective path, We are going to choose on whether to continue with the same policies that have brought us here or try new ones.

Magufuli has worked with Kikwete 100% of his time, there is no record of him saying no to any of his policies, which means the policies that have failed and dumped many of us into poverty in Tanzania today are highly likely to be continued by Magufuli. Moreover, Magufuli is in a network where he can't work differently. Lowassa's has worked with Kikwete 20% of his time, he has differed with Kikwete on several occasions, his priority on education was/is in contrast with Kikwete's agricultural priority, he wanted to end Richmond's contract but his efforts were blocked by Kikwete, just to mention a few.

We are going to make a choice about almost everything that matters to us, for instance a choice about:

A government that will invest heavily on education because part of the problem we have today is having many people who can't reason and make choices intelligently…we can't just continue to lower pass marks to paint a picture of an educated population quality not quantity of education matters.

A small government, not the kind of a large ineffective government similar to the one that we had over the last decade that spends public funds unwisely and unnecessarily.

A government that will respect human rights and human dignity not forgetting freedom of press, of speech, of association and of assembly….we can't just continue to have irresponsible law enforcement, intelligence community and military that put the ruling party's interests ahead on the nation's.

The government that will facilitate job creation for the youth…not similar to the one that killed our industries and businesses by putting self-interests ahead of the nation's...not the one that fails to find good markets for our products…..and not the one that allows unregulated importation of products that turns our country into a dumping zone.

A government that will work on an overhauled constitution which will increase accountability, transparency and prosperity not a government that will work with the existing or similar to the existing constitution that has a lot of proven weaknesses.


We've got to raise our reasoning beyond the choice of candidates for presidency and think more about the kind of path that we need as a country We have a choice to make the next five years look like the last five (business as usual) or make the next five years look different (business through change)

Attacking Lowassa is trying to make Tanzanians believe that this election is not about a new path for our country…..What the critics fail to understand is that this election is not about Lowassa, it is about us (the citizens)
 
I think if we want a government that works for us we will choose UKAWA, and if we want a government that works against us, we'll go for CCM. The lesson we have learn't through the years is that a party that stays in power for decades will not deliver as much when they know that they can't be out of power.

CCM has to be out power to understand how to seek power through democracy form an opposition perspective.

UKAWA has stipulated the changes it seek, and those are the kind of changes I'd like us to go for. It is better to try a new shirt than go for the old one that doesn't fit.
 
Imagine, today is not about two or more political parties; it is about Magufuri and Lowasa.
It is not about supporters of Katiba ya wananchi or katiba pendekezwa; it is about who is a little bit clean.
And us, supporters of Katiba ya wananchi and CHADEMA are supposedly not thinking only moved by 'mahaba'.
 
yero

You see, what cynics spend time on, is on the stuffs that weaken Lowassa as a candidate and then cloud our thinking that there is no change from such a candidate....Magufuli is coming up with some policies for development, the problem is, we've tried them before and they haven't been successful...

We can't just continue to provide the same prescription that doesn't work to the patient and expect an improvement....fear of change is equal to the poverty of ambition...

Though this election has many presidential candidates, there is no doubt that these two are the ones conspicuously competing for the post....

What I see as a supporter of UKAWA, is that many people are being led to think away from the truth..and I think our politicians have to make a choice as well whether to get enmeshed into discussing scandals or discussing the kind of change people need....we can't allow ourselves and others to loose attention from the truth...

CCM are trying as much to dictate to people what to think about this election in order for them to continue ruling this country...this tactic has worked for some people, but we shouldn't loose focus that CCM's policies are not good for us for the next five years....

The idea all along is that when people spend a lot time discussing Lowassa's 'weaknesses', they will have less time to discuss the nuts and bolts of the policies of these candidates or of these parties. For example squandering time on Richmond scandal is a typical red herring.

I also agree with you, that the choice we have is beyond candidacy, is beyond parties, it is choice of the path for this country. Put candidates aside, UKAWA has best policies to lead us an economic, political and social development.
 
Mzee Mwanakijiji please sir translate and fupisha this newspaper for us who don't like to read and not to speak english please.
Thanks you in advance
I think you should like to read and speak English, that's the essence of our education system...and I used simple English in this writing instead of using jargons to be understood by many including you...
 
kaka ujumbe mzuri naomba tafsiri kwa kiswaili
Ujumbe wangu ni kuwa huu uchaguzi unatuhusu sisi zaidi ya unavyomhusu Lowassa....kwamba CCM wanatumia mbinu nyingi kufanya tutumie mda mwingi kufikiria kuhusu 'mapungufu' ya Lowassa zaidi ya kuchambua kati ya sera za UKAWA na CCM zipi bora...sera za CCM zitakazoenda kuendelezwa na Magufuli hazijafanikiwa kuondoa umaskini, kwanini tusichague sera mpya?

Uchaguzi huu unahusu njia sahihi ya sisi kuelekea, kwa maana hiyo, hiyo ni muhimu zaidi kuliko uchaguzi wa wanasiasa na vyama vya siasa....

KUIPA KURA CCM AU?

Kuna faida gani kuipigia ccm kura mwaka huu ? 2015
La kwanza ni kuangalia ahadi zao za miaka mitano au kumi iliyopita ya uongozi wao wamekamilisha?
Slogan yao ya mwaka 2010 na 2005 "MAISHA BORA KWA KILA MTZ NA KILIMO KWANZA " NI KWELI?
JE HUDUMA ZA AFYA TANGU 2005 MPAKA SASA NI ZA KURIDHISHA ?
JE HUDUMA ZA ELIMU NAZO ?(ivi bado tuna shida ya madawati ehh??)
NISHATI YETU YA UMEME IKO POA ?
PATO LA MTZ VIPI ?
AJIRA KWA VIJANA NA NAFASI ZA UJASIRIA MALI (WENYEWE WANASEMA FURSA) ZIKO ZA UHAKIKA?
ASILIMIA NGAPI YA WATANZANIA WANAPATA MAJI YA UHAKIKA ?
TUKIJA KWENYE KILIMO VIPI WAKULIMA WAMEFANIKIWA KUTOKANA NA UONGOZI ULIOPITA NA SERA YA "KILIMO KWANZA"
NA MENGINE MENGI TUU
NI KWELI ISHU SIYO LOWASA WALA MAGUFULI WALA VYAMA….. BUT HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THIS POLITICS ZA MAHELA NA MABANGO AMBAYO HAYANA MAANA KWA MTANZANIA WA KAWAIDA ? BECAUSE COME DECEMBER 2015 I BELIEVE DENI LA TAIFA LITAKUWA KUBWA SANA NA SIJUI IZO AHADI ZA MAJUKWAANI ZITATEKELEZEKA VIPI…..

KILA SIKU NASIKIA AHADI KWA KILA MGOMBEA AMBAZO SIZIELEWI
 
They're paranoid and attacking Lowassa probably while thinking that he's out there trying to harm them, after what they did to him. In medical terms we can say ccm is having delusional paranoia.

I've also heard the usual attacks that, upinzani is unexperienced and unfit to lead the Nation, that's simply disgraceful fear unexpectedly coming from the party that's been in power for decades and at this point, we better go for un experienced Ukawa than the incompetent Ccm.

I don't mean to be rude but this resembles Insanity, when we keep doing same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.
 
faizaFox CCM leadership has failed us for decades, we cant continue to depend on the same tactics for winning the war!!
CCM is failuer even Magufuli cant do otherwise!!
UKAWA is our saviour, don't loose this oppotunity!!

Unaweza kufikiri maswali unayouliza majibu yake yangetolewa na Magufuli kwenye kampeni zake angepata credit....Lakini hawezi kuyazungumzia kwa sababu data walionayo wananchi wengi ni kwamba maisha yao yameendelea kuwa magumu......wimbo wa 'maisha bora kwa kila mtanzania' umechuja, badala kuifanyia promo wametunga wimbo mwingine 'hapa kazi tu'....

Mkuu, mahela na mabango ni muhimu kwenye kampeni kwa ajili ya kufikisha na kusisitiza ujumbe mfano 'Ni wakati wa Mabadiliko' au 'Hapa kazi tu'......

Ndio maana nimesema mwanzoni tuangalie njia sahihi ya sisi kama nchi kuelekea, Je, tunahitaji kurudi kwenye aina ya serikali dhaifu tuliokuwa nayo au tuchague mpya yenye mwamko na mawazo tofauti?....

If there is something I don't understand quite well is that what is it that 'they did to him'?...Why are 'they' afraid of his 'vengeance'?

CCM cannot loose a war without a fight...they have to use all the ammos at their arsenal to win this election...in a tough contest like this, propaganda are inevitable....UKAWA too has to use all moral means necessary to continue convincing the undecided voters and 'CCM loyals' that it is Time for Change, it is Time to let go of CCM....

No you're not rude...Magufuli has worked with Kikwete 100% of the time...'Maisha bora kwa kila mtanzania' has not brought good results and because in psephology voters are punishing underperformance, irresponsibility and unaccountability, as CCM's flagbearer he has to provide more answers than promises....

Because he does more promising, with no answers but surprises, obviously people cannot differentiate his leadership from Kikwete's, While he is coming up with some new promises and targets he is not saying why old promises and targets haven't been fullfilled and met.......

That's why, 'Hapa kazi tu' isn't selling that much compared to 'Ni wakati wa Mabadiliko'.....
