Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) has dismissed allegations made by a member suggesting that the party’s electoral success hinges not on the ballot but on alternative means.

Speaking at a rally in Dar es Salaam, Amos Makalla, the party’s Secretary for Publicity, Ideology, and Training, clarified that these assertions were purely personal and did not reflect CCM's official stance.

"I have observed remarks circulating on social media suggesting that our victory in the upcoming elections will not be determined by the ballot box. As the party spokesperson, I categorically state that these are not the views of CCM," Makalla emphasized.

He reiterated CCM's commitment to winning elections through merit and rejected any insinuation of electoral malpractice. "Our party has a proven track record of delivering development to our citizens. We are prepared to compete fairly and uphold the integrity of the electoral process," he added.

Makalla affirmed CCM's respect for political competition and emphasized their readiness to accept the outcome of a transparent and equitable electoral contest.
