Why Magufuli administration misses the point on Government splurge

The opposition is disunited and have different aspirations

The opposition is also united against each other trawling the anti CCM sentiment

Tundu Lissu is no Edward Lowassa

His advantage is he didn't cut his teeth in CCM and may unify the anti establishment vote even with a disjointed opposition

If the opposition fails to attract large crowds like Lowassa then post election opposition will be much weaker and very fragmented

The fight for the spoils of ruzuku subsidy can only intensify making a lone ranger in parliament and in the hot seat more likely

When parties present one candidate the party in question takes a winner mentality

So other supportive parties never get a share of the cake and are left to eke out a living in tumult

After five years of being shortchanged, the appetite to join hands dissipate

The opposition have their strength but rarely recognize it and sadly fails to capitalize

First, they need to focus on skewed campaigns and the election itself

They need better documentation of all forms post election from polling stations and from constituent levels

They need better coordination of dissemination of polling and constituent results to the general public

They need foot soldiers highly motivated to carry out the exercise

They to cease depending on CCM appointed NEC to be their last arbiter

NEC has no leverage once polling stations results are out

They can't hide themselves in election laws of declaration of results because the results are out already
