THE ruling party’s regional executive committee yesterday expelled 1,520 members over alleged betrayal and sabotage of the party in the 2015 General Election.
CCM also issued a stern warning against members plotting to sabotage and derail the party’s activities in the region.
Those shown the exit door include member of the national Executive Committee (NEC) and close ally to former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa, Mathias Manga, and the party’s chairman for Arusha Urban District, Wilfred ole Soilel.
This is the second time the prominent businessman has had to come to terms with the party’s wrath.
Last year, the prominent gemstone dealer was stripped of his post as CCM’s youth commander over alleged betrayal in the run up to the 2015 General Election.
Manga was accused of using his financial might to divide CCM members with the aim of assisting the opposition.
Announcing the decision yesterday, CCM’s regional secretary Omari Davies Billaly said the party was left with no option after scrutinising the cadres’ conduct during the 2015 General Election.
“The executive committee has unanimously decided to drop the cadres for sabotaging our party and colluding with the opposition during the election,” explained the party official.
Referring to Section 8(ix) (a) of the party’s election standing orders, Bilally said it was unlawful for any party member to either sabotage or collude with the opposition, especially when CCM was faced with a crucial election.
Bilally, however, said those expelled still had a chance to appeal against the decision to the party’s central executive committee in Dodoma.
Other expelled members who will have to appeal to be reinstated in their positions include Julius Mungure, Bibiana Nanyaro and Ebastiana Massay.Others are Evaline Nanjway and William Ndewoya Sarakikya.
Meru District Council leads the pack with the most expelled members at 769, followed by Ngorongoro district with 254, while 202 party cadres in Monduli District were given the boot, according to Billaly.
The cleanup also saw Arusha District Council lose 172 members, followed by Longido District which saw 64 members shown the exit door while Arumeru lost 58 members.
