Chadema is a conservative political party in Tanzania that campaigns largely on an anti-corruption platform. The name is short for Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo, Swahili for Party for Democracy and Progress.

History

In the 2000 general election, the party won 4 out of 269 seats in the National Assembly.

In 2005 election, Chadema's presidential candidate, Freeman Mbowe, finished third out of ten candidates, with 5.88% of the vote. The party won five seats in National Assembly elections held on the same day.

In the 2010 elections, Chadema substantially increased its share of the national vote, posing a threat for the first time to the dominance of the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi. Dr Willibrod Slaa, currently Secretary General of the party, gained 27.1% of the vote in the presidential election, a substantial increase on the 5.88% of the vote gained by the Chadema candidate in the 2005 election. The party also won 44 seats, making it the second-largest party in the National Assembly for the first time.

At a Chadema rally in the northern city of Arusha in 2011, police attacked the party's supporters. Two people were killed.^[1]
