“I have decided to join the race for President on the Party’s ticket to enable it to continue to rule and implement its policies,” Migiro told state-owned television.
If her bid proves successful, she would become Tanzania’s first female President. She’s the fourth woman of 36 total candidates seeking the nomination of the ruling party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party. The CCM process of nominating a candidate will begin next month and end in a Congress convened by the Party on July 12.
