The central committee of Tanzania’s ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi urged members of its national executive linked to corruption scandals to resign to help improve the party’s image among voters.
Members of the central committee, the CCM’s decision-making body, quit and were replaced on April 10 when the panel held its first meeting since President Jakaya Kikwete won an Oct. 31 election with a reduced share of the vote. Wilson Mukama was appointed as the committee’s new secretary-general.
