Tanzania goes to the polls early tomorrow, with presidential aspirants John Pombe Magufuli and Edward Lowassa reportedly in a neck-to-neck contest, but with many saying the former stands a better chance.
The 55-year old Magufuli, the current Minister of Works and flag bearer for the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party is pitted against Lowassa, a 62-year old former Prime Minister who defected to the Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) after being accused of corruption when he served as premier under outgoing President Jakaya Kikwete.
President Kikwete has served out his two five-year term and is not eligible for re-election.
