{The meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) scheduled for today in Dar es Salaam will mark the beginning of a process that would decide the future of East Africa\u2019s oldest party.}<\/p>\n
President John Magufuli, who took over the ruling party\u2019s national chairmanship from retired president Jakaya Kikwete, is expected to lead the committee for the first time since last year\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n
According to a statement released by the committee\u2019s Ideology and Publicity Secretary, Mr Nape Nnauye, the party\u2019s decision making organ is scheduled to review the 2015 general elections — from the local government, parliamentary and presidential elections \u2013 for both Zanzibar and the Union.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not a strange thing. It is within our routine to review the elections and outline areas where we didn\u2019t perform well,\u201d Mr Nnauye told a press conference after the party\u2019s Central Committee (CC) meeting, which was held on Friday in the city.<\/p>\n
Dr Magufuli\u2019s first meeting with NEC members as the national chairman is expected to offer the party\u2019s blueprint after the general elections, a committee insider told this newspaper on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a must attend meeting as anything can happen,\u201d the source said. Political analysts had it that there are a number of areas that the committee will need to review, especially on the party\u2019s assets, numerous posts within the party, sabotage during last year\u2019s elections and new members of the party\u2019s secretariat.<\/p>\n
It was revealed that since the party chairman had raised concerns over its leaders who were embezzling the party\u2019s resources, it was obvious that all those involved will not be spared.<\/p>\n
President Magufuli, who has made international headlines for his austerity and impatience with corruption and misconduct has vowed to turn the party around.<\/p>\n
Already, the party\u2019s Vice-Chairman (Mainland), Mr Philip Mangula, has announced he had received names of members who sabotaged the party during last year\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
