It seems heads of states across East Africa are keen on proving their youthfulness and commitment to lead their countries, by doing push-ups! Months after Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni shared a workout video doing pushups, Tanzania’s incumbent president John Magufuli who is on the campaign trail ahead of the October 28 General Elections has followed suit. Magufuli, who’s seeking his second term on the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party ticket recently did pushups, perhaps to indicate he’s strong enough to continue leading the country.
