Vice Chairman of Tanzania’s Democratic Change Party, CHADEMA Tundu Lissu. is calling for a rejuvenation of leadership within the opposition, urging for strategic vision and unity.
In a recent interview with NTV, Lissu expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as a period of disorganization and lack of direction within opposition ranks, emphasizing the need for a focused, visionary leadership to challenge the government effectively.
Lissu, who has consistently been a prominent figure in Tanzanian politics, reinforced his commitment to democratic reform and transparency. His comments follow recent statements in which he announced plans to take legal action internationally against the Tanzanian government, citing violations of his privacy and surveillance. According to Lissu, his phone records were accessed by the government with the cooperation of local telecommunications providers, allegedly compromising his safety and infringing on his rights. This marks a continuation of Lissu’s long-standing grievances regarding human rights and government accountability, issues he has been vocal about since an assassination attempt in 2017.

Lissu remains undeterred in his stance, highlighting that a strong and united opposition is crucial for a democratic society. “The opposition must have visionary leadership, clear of any illusions, unlike what we have seen in the past,” he remarked during his interview.
With political tensions rising, Lissu’s declarations resonate as a powerful call to action for Tanzanian opposition figures to unify under a focused agenda.
