Tanzania’s ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM’s) central committee has nominated five presidential candidates amid fears that powerful politicians left out of the race could defect to the opposition.
The party said it has shortlisted January Makamba, Bernard Membe, Asha-Rose Migiro, John Magufuli and ambassador Saida Salum for the National Executive Committee (NEC) vote of 378 members.
