Zone A New Era Transformation (ZANET) Support Group for Tushima for Senate 2027

My Vision for Zone A

The time for "recycled politics" is over. For over two decades, despite being represented by accomplished leaders from other political blocks, our zone continues to score an 'F' on development, security, and equity. Prof. Cephas Tushima's candidacy is the necessary correction, rooted in a clear, seven-point agenda for transformative representation.Theme: New Era: Transformation (Sev Mbu Hev: Mzehemen)Championing Equitable RepresentationTackling Insecurity Head-onSecuring Fair Share & Infrastructure:Attracting Global InvestmentEffective Senate EngagementEducation Reform & Youth EmpowermentGovernance with Integrity
