Chama cha Ukombozi wa Umma

The Chama cha Ukombozi wa Umma (CHAUMMA lit. 'Public Liberation Party') is a political party in Tanzania. Hashim Spunda Rungwe, chairman of CHAUMMA since 2014, was the first politician in the party's history to run for president when he stood in the 2015 Tanzanian general election. Many CHAUMMA members were previously aligned with NCCR-Mageuzi, including Rungwe, who unsuccessfully contested for president as the NCCR-Mageuzi candidate in the 2010 Tanzanian general election. Rungwe states that CHAUMMA's participation in elections depends on whether the dominant political party, CCM, allows an even playing field for opposition parties. The party's main objectives are increasing happiness, decreasing unemployment, and revitalizing the economy.
