The opposition failed to understand when they were robbed of civic elections last year they hibernated not knowing they emboldened CCM to repeat the same infractions at a much larger scale
Apex opposition weren't affected by the civic elections fiasco is a main reason they condoned it but now stakes are much higher than before because not only their personal perks are on the fireline but also subsidies are also under serious threat
CCM under Magufuli is extremely weak because it lacks a unifying ideology and this is why it entices the electorate with infrastructural sweeteners but ideological policy proposals remain lacuna!
So to defeat CCM much easier but demands sober minds well grounded on the law but not violating the law as it is...even if they feel disadvantaged with the law
There are about 100 or so of parliamentary seats disqualification and ten times or so of councillorship knocked off by presidential appointees upon frivolous and vexatious reasons
The real reason is it includes the prizest CCM top cream which includes current premier, house speaker, at least two cabinet ministers and scions of CCM once national leaders
Hounding the speaker of the house in a court of law will remind the electorate that electoral offences cannot go unpunished and this judicial effort will also shape future conduct of CCM
