Tanzania prepares for 25 October election With less than a week before Tanzania's general election, Dar-es-Salaam, is decked in the campaign colours of ruling party CCM and opposition party Chadema. The front-runner in the presidential race appears to be John Magufuli, candidate for the long-ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), who is hoping to succeed President Jakaya Kikwete, who is stepping down after the constitutional two-term limit.
