Jakaya Kikwete
Jakaya Kikwete served as the fourth President of Tanzania from 2005 to 2015. He is a member of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and played a significant role in initiating the constitutional reform process in Tanzania. His leadership focused on economic development and healthcare, but his administration faced criticism for issues related to governance and corruption. Kikwete's call for a new constitution in 2011 aimed to address long-standing political grievances, yet the process has faced numerous challenges, particularly from conservative factions within his party.
