Dodoma. Opposition Chadema has appointed former Arusha Urban Member of Parliament Mr Godbless Lema, to lead its Central Zone as part of efforts to strengthen the party in the area.

The party said Mr Lema had been assigned a special role to revitalise Chadema in the zone, which has for some time struggled due to what party leaders described as weak leadership.

Addressing party members and supporters at Mtekelezo grounds in Dodoma on Sunday, May 24, 2026, the party’s Unguja Zone chairperson, Mr Hashim Juma, described Mr Lema as a political heavyweight capable of rebuilding the party’s influence in the region.
