Popular National Party (Tanzania)

Last updated

The Popular National Party (PONA) was a political party in Tanzania. PONA was led by politician and businessman Wilfred R. Mwakitwange. [1] PONA was founded in 1992 and achieved full registration in April 1993. In 2000, the party claimed to have 1.5 million members, or 4.4% of the population. However, this number did not reflect their support in Tanzanian 2000 election, as the party was supported by only 0.7% of the population. [2] The exact number of members remains unknown to the general public. In 2005, PONA was deregistered after the presumed death of its leader, Wilfred Mwakitwange. [3] There is little information known about his death.
