The Chairman of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Comrade Sikunjema Shabani, has called on the people of Somangira Ward to give strong support to President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, highlighting her achievements in bringing development to communities across Tanzania.
Speaking at a campaign rally, Comrade Sikunjema praised President Samia for being a trailblazer for women in leadership, showing that women can lead effectively and inspire national pride.
He pointed to key projects like DP World, which have reached Somangira Ward, giving residents access to better transportation options, including ferry services that they can use based on personal choice and affordability.
Luja Juma Ally, CCM’s candidate for Somangira Ward councilor, emphasized that President Samia’s leadership has already brought visible improvements to the area.
He assured voters that if elected, he will continue the development initiatives started by previous leaders and ensure that all projects are executed with transparency and accountability.
He urged residents to support CCM, noting that the party has consistently delivered both nationally and locally.
Luja also acknowledged the challenges facing Somangira, including a lack of schools, health facilities, and poor road conditions.
He promised to work closely with fellow councilors to address these issues, ensuring local resources are used effectively to meet the community’s needs.
Luja stressed the importance of creating opportunities for youth, particularly through local construction projects such as bridges, where young people can find work.
He pledged to engage with residents through public meetings to hear their concerns and take action in collaboration with local government leaders.
He also highlighted the importance of protecting and improving community spaces, ensuring they are safe and serve the needs of residents.
On financial matters, Luja promised fair access to loans for all local groups and proper oversight of contracts given to motorcycle taxi operators (bodaboda) to safeguard their rights.
By prioritizing transparency, integrity, and citizen participation, Luja and CCM aim to ensure that Somangira Ward continues to grow, empowering residents and improving their quality of life.
