The independent candidate question in Tanzania has, since 1992, remained a
subject of debate among political parties, judiciary, parliament, executive, the
attorney general’s chamber, academics, civil societies, and election observers. The
issue of this debate is whether or not independent candidates should be introduced
in the electoral system. The ruling party and its government have been against the
independent candidates on the ground that it would jeopardize the entire electoral
system. The purpose of this article is twofold. First is to present my rejoinder to the
issues raised by Frank Mateng’e’s article “Protesting the Independent Candidacy in
Tanzania’s Elections: A Bona Fide Cause?” concerning one of my earlier works about
the independent candidate issue in Tanzania. Second, I engage the contribution of
Mateng’e to the independent candidate debates. This entails also interrogating his
concept of “de facto independent candidacy”. |
