Why Masisi wants the BDP chair?

Should he (Masisi) abandon the bid to seek reelection for the party chairpersonship and concentrate on the vice presidency until he earnestly assumes the party and state Presidency next April 1, it might cost him a fortune.

Although the BDP chairpersonship is viewed as a ceremonial position with the bulk of the work done by the party president, the chairman gets an opportunity to feel the pulse of the people by closely interacting with the party structures across the 57 constituencies.
