Edward Ngoyai Lowassa
Edward Ngoyai Lowassa is a Tanzanian politician who served as Prime Minister from 2005 to 2008. He is best known for his dramatic defection from the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party to the opposition Chadema in 2015, a move that significantly reshaped Tanzania's political landscape. His departure was seen as a response to being sidelined in the CCM presidential nomination process, and he went on to become the joint presidential candidate for the opposition coalition in the 2015 elections, achieving unprecedented support for an opposition figure in Tanzania.
