Top leaders of Tanzania's main opposition party Chadema have formally declared an end to reconciliation talks with the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi, setting the stage for a no-holds-barred contest ahead of the local government elections in October next year.
In separate forums, Chadema chairman Freeman Mbowe and his deputy Tundu Lissu have asserted that they were no longer interested in mending fences with the President Samia Suluhu Hassan regime because of what they called a decline in sincerity and commitment in the “Maridhiano” talks.
