Nowhere is that dichotomy felt more than in politics

CCM is increasingly divorced from rank and file of its numerous voters

We know this through how leaders are elected

It's first time in the history of CCM the general meeting compromising of over three thousand party leaders dotting the whole nation are snubbed from choosing national leaders!

CCM is backsliding to earlier days of Tanu where major decisions where carried out by the national executive council

And where the general convention was called vote by acclamation was in play

CCM under Magufuli treats rank and file of its own party with hostility, mistrust and suspicions!

This doesn't augur well to our democracy

We say so because the CCM NEC doesn't have a national representation

Majority are party ex officios

Almost fifty percent of CCM NEC is made by regional chair and their respective secretaries

Essentially these are a product of either direct or indirect appointments

All CCM secretary general's are appointed

While regional chair are elected but must be approved by central committee so they are indirectly appointed

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

The whole central committee is appointees directly or otherwise

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Whoever is an ex officio is a gratitude of central committee approval

Sent from my SM-A715F using JamiiForums mobile app

Whether a house speaker, deputy, zenji prezzo and others can only grab those posts after receiving a green light from the central committee

So such elections are sham elections
