Chadema had earlier raised the alarm on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that Golugwa was on his way to represent the party at an International Democracy Union (IDU) conference set to begin tomorrow in Belgium.
Speaking to The Citizen sister paper Mwananchi shortly after his release, lawyer Matata said all bail procedures had been completed.
“He has been released not long ago after all the bail formalities were finalized, along with others,” said Matata, who also serves as Chadema’s Western Zone Chairperson.
