Freeman Aikaeli Mbowe (born 14 September 1961) is a Tanzanian politician and chairman of Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA – Party for Democracy and Development).
Mbowe was elected to the National Assembly in 2000 representing Hai Constituency (Kilimanjaro Region). He won 64.5% of the vote, which was the highest percentage of votes won among constituencies with opposition MP's.
In preparation for the 2005 elections, Mbowe was nominated as CHADEMA's presidential candidate. Jumbe Rajab Jumbe, a Zanzibari
was chosen as his vice-presidential candidate. The election was
originally scheduled for 30 October 2005, but was postponed until 14
December due to the death of Jumbe.
Mbowe criticized the lengthy postponement, saying a week's delay would
have sufficed and that his party cannot afford to finance extra
campaigning. Chadema eventually settled on Anna Maulidah Komu to be the running mate.
He placed third out of ten candidates in the 14 December 2005
presidential election, winning 5.88% of the vote. Although there are
rumuors that many of the votes in that election were stolen by the
ruling part Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) going to their presidential
candidate, Jakaya Kikwete. In, 2010 general elections he was elected a
member of the united republic parliament after defeating the incumbent
from chama cha mapinduzi , fuyi kimbita taking 51.63% of the
vote.currently, he is the leader of the opposition in parliament after
his party the chama cha demokrasia na maendeleo won a significant
majority in the opposition camp in parliament.]
