The General Meeting of the NCCR Mageuzi party has removed the leadership and expelled the former National Chairman of the party, James Mbatia, while his Vice Angelina Rutairwa was stripped of his post.

The meeting also demanded that all leaders involved in the embezzlement of property, including Mbatia, be taken legal action.

The meeting unanimously approved member Haji Ambari Hamisi, to be the Chairman of the party while Joseph Selasini was elected as his Vice with 173 votes.

The meeting is being held today Saturday September 24, 2022 in the city of Dodoma and attended by 224 of the 368 members present in accordance with the Constitution of their party.

The members did so after the Acting Chairman of the party, Haji Ambari Hassan, mentioned seven accusations against Mbatia and two accusations against Angelina.

Among the charges facing Mbatia is selling party assets, including farms and houses in various areas.

Ambari has told the delegates that the leaders were sent their indictment and they were required to respond within 14 days as required by their constitution.

However, he has said that he did not respond to the accusation and did not come to the meeting, despite being invited, so that he could defend himself in front of the delegates.

"We have invited them to this meeting, but they did not want to come and instead they ran to the court to prevent the meeting once again," he said.
