Tanzanian Politics Roast the Bean: A Brewing Storm of Power and Principle The latest upheaval in Tanzania's ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), has left many wondering what exactly constitutes "indiscipline" in the eyes of President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi was expelled from the CCM after his resignation and subsequent remarks about a new constitution.
Nchimbi's tenure as vice president, which lasted just 10 months, was marked by controversy. He called for Tanzanians to "fight for a new constitution," a statement that did not sit well with President Hassan.
