“…That way, Chadema was able to accommodate people of my [left-wing] disposition." 130 While Chadema is the first contemporary African party to which a republicandemocratic ideology has been ascribed, it is unlikely to be the only republican voice on the continent. A cluster of opposition movements speak in similar terms to Chadema.…”

“…60 Similarly, the late long-time Central Committee member Mwesiga Baregu said Chadema opened its "doors to all progressive forces demanding change." 61 Others, like academic Chambi Chachage, maintain that despite becoming "a broad church", Chadema ultimately remained "a business-oriented party." 62 Some argue that Chadema message relegated its own ideology in its publicfacing message.…”

“…63 Similarly, Baregu judged that "the debates that we are engaged in are not highly ideological." 64 Indeed, the party's own 2014 ideology handbook lamented that Chadema MPs rarely invoke the party's ideology or philosophy in parliament. 65 I argue that none of these readings encapsulates fully Chadema's shifting ideological claim-making.…”

Democratization

This article is about democratic political thought and African political parties.Studies judge that opposition speak about democracy, but rarely express democratic ideologies. This determination arises from democracy's perceived hegemony. As democracy is accepted, opposition parties invoke democratic ideas without advocating them. I contest this line of argument. There are multiple visions of democracy. Therefore, whether or not democracy is hegemonic, not all arguments for and perspectives on it are. By omission, the literature on African parties has denied this variety in democratic thought and precluded the study of one variant of it in particular: republicanism. Republicanisms elevate domination and corruption as ills and advocate limiting state power and empowering citizens. I analyse the "people's power philosophy" of leading Tanzanian opposition party, Chadema. It imagines a ruling party oligarchy which pursues its private interests through an interconnected system of domination and corruption. Chadema advocates a new constitution to undo that system: institutional reforms that limit state power and empower citizens. It claims that it can do so by overpowering the oligarchy in a popular struggle. It imagines struggle as the breaking of everyday dominance and therefore as emancipatory: a second liberation. I argue that this philosophy constitutes a republican-democratic ideology.
