Defeated Chadema cadre seeks to block polls

Musoma. Chadema cadre who has failed to secure the party’s endorsement to vie for the Musoma Urban parliamentary seat has filed a case in the Musoma District Court challenging his party, seeking for an injunction to block intra-party elections.

Mr Eliud Esseko, who picked up his nomination form on July 3, this year, decided to take the legal route after receiving the letter from his party accusing him of misconduct, accusations which he denied.

He was accused of bribing Chadema members as well as starting campaign before the right time and that he stolen his party’s documents and hand them to CCM.

He said that he was only given one day to respond.

Though the court granted him a temporary injunction, barring the party from conducting its internal election, Chadema allegedly defied the order and went on with the scheduled meeting on July 28, axing him from the race.

Mr Esseko said that he was not satisfied with the way that opinion polls were conducted within the party and that the situation shows that leaders favoured the outgoing MP, Mr Vincent Nyerere.

“Before they removed my name from the list, they never given me any official document showing how we are going to conduct the nomination, instead I used to get information from WhatsApp groups,” he lamented.

The Musoma municipal mayor Mr Alex Kisurura said that he had directions from Chadema headquarters on the issue but since the matter was brought before court he would not comment anything as they were waiting for court decision.

On Wednesday Chadema conducted opinion polls in which Mr Nyerere emerged the winner. He was the only contestant after Mr Esseko was dropped.

Mesothelioma Survival Rates About 40 percent of patients with mesothelioma survive the first year after diagnosis. That survival rate depends on many factors, including age, cancer stage, cancer type, race and gender. Long-term survivors attribute their success to treatment from a mesothelioma specialist, alternative medicine and nutritional changes. Average mesothelioma survival rates Mesothelioma claimed nearly 30,000 American lives between 1999 and 2010. About 40 percent of U.S. patients live to the one year mark. By the second year, about 20 percent of patients are still alive. And by the third year, the number is 8 percent. How is survival rate measured? Researchers describe the mesothelioma survival rate in several ways. They usually talk about it in terms of one-year survival, the percentage of people who survive for a year after diagnosis. Through their studies, they also look at longer survival times, including the number of people who live two years, three years and five years
