Stephen Wasira Nominated for CCM Deputy Chair

Veteran politician Stephen Wasira, known for his longstanding service within both the government and Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), has been nominated to run for the position of Deputy Chairman for the party’s Mainland region.

The nomination comes as CCM holds its Extraordinary General Meeting at the Jakaya Kikwete Conference Hall in Dodoma, where party members will cast votes to decide whether Wasira will succeed Abdulrahman Kinana, the current Deputy Chairman, who has stepped down and asked for a break from the position.

Wasira, a respected figure within Tanzanian politics, has played various leadership roles throughout his career in both CCM and the government. His deep political experience makes him a key candidate for the role, which will play an important part in the party’s future direction.

The election process will be straightforward, with delegates voting “yes” or “no” to Wasira’s candidacy. If successful, Wasira would take on the responsibility of guiding the party during a period of political change and transition, ensuring its influence remains strong as Tanzania approaches future elections.
