Dar es Salaam. The High Court of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam Sub-Registry, has directed respondents in an application filed by Chadema Chairman Tundu Lissu to file their responses within seven days, ahead of a hearing scheduled for June 2, 2026.

Mr Lissu, who is currently in remand custody facing treason charges, is seeking to be joined in an ongoing civil suit involving a dispute over the distribution of party resources and alleged discrimination between Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.

The main case, Civil Case No. 8323 of 2025, was filed by Chadema’s former vice chairman, Mr Said Issa Mohamed, together with two members of the party’s Board of Trustees from Zanzibar, Mr Ahmed Rashid Khamis and the late Ms Maulida Anna Komu.
