Lowassa claims Magufuli asked him to rejoin CCM

 

Former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa has revealed that President John Pombe Magufuli tried to persuade him to rejoin the ruling political party CCM when the two met in a tête-à-tête at State House in Dar es Salaam recently.

A press statement released on Monday this week (January 15, 2018) – and which is signed by Mr Lowassa – says a member of the central committee (CC) of the main political opposition Party for Democracy and Development (Chadema) downplayed President Magufuli’s call upon Mr Lowassa to rejoin CCM.

“I didn’t agree. I told him that my decision to shift to Chadema from CCM was real and not a probability,” reads the statement in part.
