CHADEMA National Chairman, Mr Freeman Mbowe

CHADEMA has announced to shelve country wide rallies that were staged to take place on September 1 to leave a room for discussion with the government.

Chadema, the main opposition party, said they heed to a request by religious leaders that called for them to engage in dialogue with the government instead of sticking to their guns.

The party National Chairman, Mr Freema Mbowe, told journalists today at a press conference in Dar es Salaam that they respect the religious leaders request and halt the rallies.

Chadema called the countrywide demonstration over a month ago pressing to let the government allow them to stage in and outdoors meetings.

The police and almost all regional commissioners barred the said rallies on the ground that they stage to tarnishing the country’s piece.
