Tanzanias opposition party backs magufuli for second term
I think there may be some confusion here. Tanzania's opposition party, the Chadema party, has not backed President John Magufuli for a second term. In fact, Chadema has been a strong critic of Magufuli's government and has called for him to step down.
Magufuli's party, the CCM (Chama Cha Mapinduzi), has been in power in Tanzania since the country gained independence in 1964. Magufuli has been the President of Tanzania since 2015 and is seeking re-election in the 2020 general elections.
The opposition parties in Tanzania, including Chadema, have been critical of Magufuli's government, citing issues such as human rights abuses, restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly, and economic mismanagement.
It's worth noting that the opposition parties in Tanzania have been divided and have not presented a united front against Magufuli's government. However, Chadema has been one of the most vocal critics of Magufuli's government and has called for him to step down.
I hope this clears up any confusion. Let me know if you have any other questions!
