IRINGA: Another ward councilor from Chadema Edgar Mgimwa has defected to Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM), saying one of the reasons of defecting is to support the development efforts made by President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli.
Mgimwa is a fourth ward councilor from Chadema party in iringa urban constituency after Baraka Kimata from Kitwiru ward and Leah Mleleu's and Husna Daudi for Special seats to resign.
Mgimwa emerged at the launch of CCM's bye election campaigns yesterday held in Kirwiru ward within Iringa Municipality and explained why he was moving to support the development efforts made by President John Magufuli.
CCM’s campaign in the ward was launched yesterday by party secretary Humphrey Polepole and said that he (Mgimwa) had made the decision to serve the people by bringing them the right development.
The former councilor for Kitwiru ward Baraka Kimata was first councilor to cross over to ruling party CCM.
On the other hand, CCM's secretary-general Hamphrey Polepole has urged the activists to stop lying and instead to point out arguments that will help the people to develop them.
He congratulated councilors' actions to join his party claiming that such people were aware of themselves and decided to make good decisions for the people.
Polepole slowly used the same time to invite all the councilors in Chadema to join the CCM and claim he had come to receive them and make join the ruling party.
He said they have made a good decision; CCM's house is huge and pointed out that his party was proud of the party.
KITWERU residents have been urged to vote for a leader who is going to be with them all the time but should not vote for a leader who runs away from his / her responsibilities in hardship.
The call was made by Tarime Rural Constituency John Heche (CHADEMA) yesterday during the official launch campaign for the election held at Nyamhanga 'C' Kitwiru Ward in Iringa Urban Constituency, Iringa Region.
He said residents of Kitwiru should not vote runaway leader who gave you the responsibility to represent you as ward councilor but he has left you gone to another political party.
Kitwiru Ward in Iringa Urban is going for the by-election after (Baraka Kimata) has resigned and joined the Revolutionary Party (CCM), who is still challenging but this from CCM side.
Kimata (CCM) is contesting against his opponent from Chadema Party Bahati Chengula in the coming coming by election to be held on 26/11/2017.
Heche said people should avoid voting for double standard leaders, that is, leader who runs away from his / her responsibilities.
He said people should vote for leaders who can bring about human development and should be inclusive one.
He said human development is more important than anything because development is about multi dimensional aspect. Development is not about buildings where people can not afford to pay for health services, electricity bills and other social services.
"Some people are preaching about development when they are destroying everything you have erected or built, for instance, the ongoing demolition in Dar es Salaam," he said.
He said a good government would provide social services like a basic human need for his people.
However, Heche has pointed out an accusing finger of the government for destroying democratic processes which include free political assembly and freedom of speech.
Mbeya Urban Member of Parliament Sugu, who was also one of the speakers during the campaign rally said Kitwiru resident should not vote for Baraka kimata who he rebelled as 'Judah Iscariot' and betrayer.
He said has Kimata defected to the CCM party was a betrayer and he was not worth giving leadership in the area because he will do the same when it is voted and when see things are not working he will drop his job.
Sugu said a good leader is one who is with his people what hardship situation will be he must die hard.
He urged Kitwiru residents not to entertain such leaders like Kimata because he has no leadership qualities.
In another development, Iringa Urban Member of Parliament Rev. Peter Msigwa (CHADEMa) has vowed to present a private motion in Parliament against National Speaker Job Ndugai.
