Tanzania’s ruling party CCM on Thursday named veteran Stephen Wassira as its new vice-chairperson for the Mainland. The 80-year-old former Cabinet minister will be President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s righthand man in planning for the general election due in October.
Wassira, a longstanding CCM member, with over half a century of experience in party and government affairs, was unveiled to delegates at the party’s extraordinary general assembly, which began in Dodoma on Saturday.
