Members of the Secretariat of the Special Committee of Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Zanzibar have approved a proposal to advise the Special Committee to endorse an extension of Zanzibar President Dr. Hussein Mwinyi’s first term to seven years instead of five.

Speaking, the Deputy Secretary General of CCM Zanzibar, Dr. Mohamed Dimwa, stated that this decision is due to their satisfaction with Dr. Mwinyi’s performance in implementing the CCM manifesto of 2020-2025, achieving over 100% within three years.

“We, the members of the secretariat, have discussed and thoroughly evaluated President Mwinyi’s performance.

We are convinced that there is no alternative to his leadership, and he deserves to lead the country for seven years to have ample time to make developmental revolutions in economic and social sectors,” said Dr. Dimwa.

He added that CCM Zanzibar views entering the 2025 General Election as a loss and a waste of taxpayers’ money, as the citizen need sustainable development.
