During the 2020 General Election campaigns almost all artistes campaigned for him and the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Party.

He had a direct connection with musicians and even in July last year he managed to bring together nemesis <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/president-magufuli-brings-diamond-alikiba-and-harmonize-together-photos/6z9vhsw">Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize and Alikiba</a> at State House during a special lunch that had been organized by CCM.

In his speech, Magufuli mentioned that he was happy to see the three who are always pitted against each for the crown of the&nbsp;Bongo Flava King&nbsp;share a Table, because it proves that Tanzania is bigger than their individual differences.
