The opposition
in Tanzania needs to unite if it wants to out-seat the ruling Chama
Cha Mapinduzi. Already we have seen the benefits of having
opposition parties that have been challenging bad policies and foul
play in the government.
Still, the idea of having private candidates to contest for
political positions is not a good one, actually the country is not
yet mature for such a move and if allowed may pave way for
dictatorship or tribalism.

Private candidates are going to
cause great burden to our country, I mean where exactly will an
individual politician without a party to monitor him, take the
grants being issued to political parties?
On what policy can a private candidate govern the country should he
be elected to rule? No this idea of private candidates may actually
pave way for civil conflicts.

I fully support the idea of
having private candidates because the country is full of people with
leadership capabilities but who are always hindered by the party
bureaucracy.
If a person appears to be a good leader, then by all means let him
be elected. It is high time we allow changes in our political
system, however the number of contenders must be controlled so as to
avoid having thousand candidates.
