Dar es Salaam. Barely 24 hours after former Rombo MP Joseph Selasini returned to Chadema and publicly apologised to party members, former Iringa Urban MP Peter Msigwa has followed the same path, quitting CCM and rejoining the opposition party he left nearly two years ago.
The back-to-back returns of the two veteran politicians on May 22, 2026, have stirred fresh political debate, with both men describing their departures from Chadema as mistakes made during difficult political moments.
Selasini made the first move on Friday during Chadema’s public rally in Arusha, where he stood before supporters and admitted that leaving the party in 2020 had been a ‘political accident.’
