IRINGA: The Chama
cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) in Iringa Urban Constituency says it is
intact despite the former ward councillors who are resignation going to Chama
Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
Iringa
Urban Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Rev. Peter Msigwa (CHADEMA) said
yesterday that the party in the constituency is aware that the former ward
councilors who were resigning from the party in various wards in the Iringa
municipality have been slippery and working in isolation for a long time.
Rev.
Msigwa alleged that the constituency is aware that the ward councilors have
been having dark corner meetings with unknown people and that their
resignations are welcome.
He told
TUMBUSI BLOG yesterday during an interview that the party in the
constituency will remain strong in ensuring that they deliver development in
the municipal council as they promised the people.
He
however, expressed concern that the resignation of various wards councilors and
some party leaders will delay development especially in the wards they were
coming from.
MP Msigwa
has since called on party members in the constituency to continue respecting
the party chain of command.
He added
that the party in the urban constituency is not shaken and that the decision
that ward councillors have taken was their personal decision which everyone has
the right to.
“Let them
get their municipal council (CCM) and all my ward councilors I will remain with
Suzana Mgonokulima who is special seat MP for Iringa through CHADEMA…,” sounded
Rev. Msigwa.
On
Saturday Mwangata Ward Councillor of Iringa Urban, Anjelusi Mbogo and Chadema
Party secretary of the Iringa Iringa Region, Oscar Ndale have announced their
resignation going Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
Mbogo
becomes the seven party ward councilor in the iringa urban constituency (five
elected councilors and two special seats) making these decisions within four
months.
In the
2015 General Elections, Chadema scooped 14 out of 18 wards and carried Iringa
urban constituency into the second round through its candidate, Pastor Peter
Msigwa.
Explaining
the reasons for resigning, Mbogo said he had failed to endure the leadership
violence committed by Pastor Msigwa and Iringa Municipal Mayor.
He said
the two leaders lead the party as goddesses, the dictators and untouchable and
they reach the point that threatened the party stability and decision within
the party and at the party council meetings.
"There
is no democracy in Chadema, working under these two people is a problem and
self-denial, but if the leaders leave their positions, I am ready to return and
become a regular member, "he said.
