KYELA: FORMER parliamentary aspirant for Kyela Constituency, Godlove Mwakibete, popularly known as Chief Godlove, has thanked residents for their support during the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) nomination process, pledging to remain active in efforts to advance development in the constituency.
Chief Godlove made the remarks during a meeting with residents at Kyelucu Grounds in Ipinda, Kyela District, where he returned to thank supporters following his exclusion from the final stage of the party’s nomination process.
He said the outcome would not deter him from working with residents, friends and other stakeholders to identify opportunities that could improve the lives of people in Kyela.
“My name being left out of the final list will not stop me from thinking about the development of the people of Kyela. I will continue working with friends, stakeholders and residents to identify opportunities that can help bring progress to our constituency,” he said.
Chief Godlove said his vision for Kyela remained focused on key areas including healthcare, education and youth empowerment, stressing that meaningful development required collective effort beyond political positions.
