Criticisms over the limits of the current reform process are increasingly coalescing around demands for a new Tanzanian constitution, with the current framework \u2013 and the ruling CCM party \u2013 in place since independence despite the shift to multipartyism in 1992. On this episode of Africa Aware, the Rt Hon Freeman Mbowe, leader of Tanzania\u2019s largest opposition party Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA), reflects on his country\u2019s political outlook. Mbowe shares his insights on CHADEMA\u2019s push for a new constitution, the party\u2019s balance of ideology with electability and Tanzania\u2019s position within broader regional blocs in Eastern and Southern Africa.
