PARTY POLITICS
The party also clarified on some of the issues it wants to the Constitution Review Commission to rectify.
 * Chadema, according to the statement,after going through the guidelines, and the fact that the commission on 14th February decided on district constituent assemblies, it submitted recommendations on issues left out by the commission.
 * It was after this that the official opposition leader in parliament, Freeman Mbowe stated that Chadema would withdraw from the new constitution formation process by 30th April, 2013 if several issues raised were not settled.

One of the issues was nullification of membership of those selected to the district constituent assemblies by the ward development committees (WDC) and instead be voted directly by the public without WDC approval. It says with shortcomings in the composition of the district constitution assemblies, the commission went ahead and issued guidelines forconstitution assemblies for civil society organizations, institutions and other groups.
 * The party also wanted the government to take the Constitution Review Act to parliament for some amendments.

Chadema argues that the mentioned groups are those at national level while there are groups that are only at the lowest level in the villages and others which are not registered, thus calling for the opportunity to be widened to accommodate all groups.
