THE SON OF JULIUS NYERERE IN THE TANZANIA PRESIDENTIAL RACE


Charles Makongoro Nyerere’s entry in the Kikwete succession battle will no doubt change the political game plan within the ruling party, neutralising other long time aspirants, Mr Edward Lowassa ,Mr Benard Membe,Mwigulu Nchemba,Steven Wassira and others.

The  son of Julius Nyerere, Tanzania's first president  Charles Makongoro Nyerere (born 30 January 1959) is a Tanzanian CCM politician and a retired army officer of the Tanzania People's Defence Force. He is currently serving as a member of the East African Legislative Assembly.


The once-disgraced prime minister, who resigned in February 2008, has politically rejuvenated at a pace that no serious political analyst can map out. His supporters see him as a victim of politics of betrayal—and they believe he was duped by the very same man he backed for decades to be the president of Tanzania.
