Freeman Aikaeli Mbowe (born 14 September 1961) is a Tanzanian politician and former chairman of Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo.

Mbowe constructively criticized the lengthy postponement, saying a week's delay would have sufficed and that his political party cannot afford to finance extra campaigns.

Chadema eventually settled on Anna Komu to be the running political party executive.

In July 2021, Freeman Mbowe was arrested along with ten other members of the party left for Mwanza (North-West) where they were planning a rally.

This caused critics to accuse Suluhu of releasing Mbowe on condition of support for Western feminist policies.
