Dodoma - Tanzania's ruling party on Sunday named Works Minister John
Magufuli as its candidate for this year's presidential race, making him
the most likely next leader of the east African nation.
The Chama
Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party has ruled Tanzania for five decades and its
candidate is widely expected to take over from President Jakaya Kikwete,
who has served a maximum two terms, after the October 25 election.
