Slaa ‘the right man for 2015’

source The Citizen Sunday 30th December 2012





Karatu. Dr Willibrod Slaa is still “the right and capable” candidate to vie for the presidency on Chadema’s ticket in the 2015 General Election, the party’s chairman, Mr Freeman Mbowe, said yesterday Mr Mbowe made the remarks at a public rally in Karatu Town.
It is the first time that Mr Mbowe has publicly endorsed Dr Slaa for 2015.
Dr Slaa unsuccessfully vied for the top seat in 2010.

He garnered 26 per cent of the vote against the 61 per cent won by CCM’s Jakaya Kikwete.
Chadema deputy secretary-general Zitto Kabwe, who is also the Kigoma North MP, said in March he intended to vie for the Union presidency in the 2015 elections.
Mr Kabwe said the country needed major transformation, which current politicians had failed to push for, and were instead dwelling on “cosmetic” changes.

Mr Mbowe said yesterday: “If the almighty God gives him good health until 2015, Chadema will offer him another opportunity to bear our flag in the presidential election.

“I want all those planning to take advantage of the 2015 presidential contest to destabilise our party to be aware of this fact.”
Mr Mbowe said for a long time there had been deliberate attempts to create enmity between him and Dr Slaa, adding that the machinations would fail.
