Earlier, giving legal procedures for Lowassa, the party’s lawyer, Tundu Lissu said according to the party’s constitution, they conducted a thoroughly research for more than three months which was done by the central committee to nominate a suitable candidate who will be the party’s flag bearer in the coming elections.
Ingawa zimekuwapo taarifa kwamba Magufuli ametamka hayo kwa msukumo wa Masele, lakini taarifa za kiuchunguzi za gazeti hili zinabainisha kwamba, Magufuli amepata taarifa hizo kutoka katika mfumo wa kiintelijensia wa chama chake, CCM, mfumo ambao umekuwa ukifuatilia kwa karibu nyendo za kila mwanasiasa hasa wale waliokuwa karibu na Lowassa, kabla kuhamia Chadema.
