For this case, on protecting the votes we can view the nonviolent conflict as a powerful way that had worked immensely during the 2010 General Election more than any other times of multi-party democracy in Tanzania. For instance in constituencies like Ubungo, Ilemela, Nyamagana, Kahama, Arusha, Busanda and Tarime, voters decided to wage a nonviolent struggle to protect their votes against manipulations from the allegedly puppets of the ruling party and in some instances allegedly traitors of democracy within the electoral administration in Tanzania. (Refer to the news of the Citizen, on Tuesday, 02 November 2010with a title, “Chaos reign as NEC delay poll results”)
Kwa ufupi kabisa nitagusia mtiririko wa kihistoria huku nikitumia maana ya siasa kama “mfumo unaotambulika na kukubalika na watu wote katika kuratibu rasilimali zote za taifa, iwe ni watu, fedha, maliasili zote zinazohusika kama maji, ardhi, madini, wanyama pori na misitu katika kumnufaisha mwananchi mmoja mmoja na hatimaye kuleta maendeleo endelevu kwa jamii ya watu wote kama Taifa”. Kabla ya kupata uhuru wa kisiasa, nchi yetu ilikuwa chini ya mfumo wa kisiasa wa wakoloni ambao wao kama ilivyo desturi ya mfumo wa kisiasa waliutumia kujinufaisha wao na watu wao waliokuwa ughaibuni. Hali tukiwa tunatawaliwa hatukuweza kunufaika na mfumo wa siasa za kikoloni kwa kuwa huo ulilenga kuwanufaisha wananchi wao kwa njia za unyonyaji.
