The NRM primaries elections held on 4th October 2020, according to TCAU members wa characterized by vote rigging, chaos and violence due lack of updated voter register. The outcome of that election divided NRM members and weakened the overall party performance, from Presidential, parliamentary and local councils. It also forced many NRM members to contest as independents, but NRM leaning.
Magufuri said that members of the TCAU are also mobilizing countrywide to contribute to the current NRM register updates.
“As Transformers cadres association, we want to actively engage in party members mobilization to register and update their names during the ongoing NRM members’ registration exercise, which was flagged of by HE The President on the 28th February 2024” he said
