Halima James Mdee (born 18 March 1978) is a Tanzanian politician and a special seat women representative MP from CHADEMA serving since 2020.
On 11 May 2022 the CHADEMA Governing Council anonymously confirmed and or upheld the decision of the Central Committee[3] The 19 MPs who were expelled are Halima Mdee, Esther Matiko, Grace Tendega, Cecilia Pareso, Esther Bulaya, Agnesta Lambart Kaiza, Nusrat Hanje, Jesca Kishoa, Hawa Mwaifunga, Tunza Malapo and Asya Mwadini Mohammed.
Others are Felister Njau, Nagenjwa Kaboyoka, Sophia Mwakagenda, Kunti Majala, Stella Fiyao, Anatropia Theonest, Salome Makamba and Conchesta Rwamlaza.
Following the expulsion Chadema General secretary John Mnyika wrote a letter to the Speaker of the National Assembly so that she can declare that the 19 mps have lost qualifications of being members of Parliament as per Tanzanian 1977 Constitution.
In his decision Judge Mgeta cited irregularities being the main reason for dismissal of the said petition,[6] asserting that the MPs addressed the wrong respondent who in law supposed to be the "Registered trustee of Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo" and not the Board of Trustees of Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo as it was indicated in the petition[7]
