In July as all the political parties were having difficulty in choosing their candidates for the presidency, the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party decided to steal a march on the others by bringing forward their own selection process and forcing the other parties to do the same. 2. It seemed as though almost everyone who is anyone wanted to become president. A total of no less than 42 CCM leaders, an unprec- edented number, registered their desire to be the party’s presidential candidate.

Election Violence in Zanzibar – Ongoing Risk of Violence in Zanzibar 15 March 2011
Country Advice Tanzania Tanzania – TZA38321 – Revolutionary State Party (CCM) – Civic United Front (CUF) – Election violence in Zanzibar – Ongoing risk of violence in Zanzibar 15 March 2011 1. Please provide a background of the major political parties in Tanzania focusing on the party in power and the CUF. The United Republic of Tanzania was formed in 1964 as a union between mainland Tanganyika and the islands of Unguja and Pemba, which together comprise Zanzibar. Since 1977, it has been ruled by the Revolutionary State Party (Chama Cha Mapinduzi or CCM). In 1992 the government legislated for multiparty democracy, and the country is now a presidential democratic republic with a multiparty system. The first multiparty national elections were held in 1995, and concurrent presidential and parliamentary elections have since been held every 5 years. The CCM has won all elections to date. The CUF, founded in 1991, constituted the main opposition party following the 1995 multiparty elections.1 At the most recent elections in October 2010, the CCM‟s Jakaua Kikwete was re-elected President with 61.7% of the vote (as compared to 80% of the vote in 2005) and the CCM secured almost 80% of the seats. Most of the opposition votes went to the Chadema party, which displaced the Civic United Front (CUF) for the first time as the official opposition. The opposition leader is Chadema‟s Chairman, Freeman Mbowe. Chadema‟s presidential candidate, Willibrod Slaa, took 27% of the vote, while CUF‟s Ibrahim Lipumba received 8%.2 Notwithstanding the CCM‟s election success, the BBC reports that Kikwete‟s “political legitimacy has been seen by some to have been somewhat dented in the 2010 elections”, given the decline in his percent of the vote, and a total election turnout of only 42%, down from 72% in 2005. -

MHE. RASHID ALI ABDALLAH: Mheshimiwa Spika, ahsante sana. Kwanza, sina budi kumshukuru Mwenyezi Mungu, kwa kunijalia leo hii kusimama hapa. Mheshimiwa Waziri Mkuu, rushwa na ufisadi vinaliangamiza Taifa letu. Hivi karibuni tulimsikia Mheshimiwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, akisikitishwa sana na jinsi rushwa ilivyokithiri katika Chaguzi za Chama chake. Tarehe 16 tumemsikia Spika akikemea na kusikitishwa na rushwa. Siyo hao tu, tumemsikia Jaji Kiongozi wa 1 20 JUNI, 2013 Mahakama Kuu ya Tanzania, akisikitishwa pia na suala la rushwa. Mihimili yote mitatu inalalamika kuhusu rushwa ilivyokithiri. Je, Serikali ina mikakati gani madhubuti ya kuweza kudhibiti au kuondoa rushwa hii? WAZIRI MKUU: Mheshimiwa Spika, naomba kumjibu Mheshimiwa Rashid Ali Abdallah, swali lake zuri sana kama ifuatavyo:- Mheshimiwa Spika, kwanza, niseme kwamba, Viongozi hawa wanaposema siyo kwamba wanalalamika, ni namna ya kuwatahadharisha Watanzania, muda wote wakae wanajua kwamba rushwa siyo jambo zuri, ni jambo la hovyo. Huo ndiyo ujumbe ambao wote wanajaribu kutupa. Hata Bungeni, mnapokuwa mna jambo, juzi nili- attend ule Mkutano wa APNAC, yale siyo malalamiko ni namna ya kuwaambia Wananchi na Watanzania juu ya uovu wa jambo hili. -
The Authoritarian Turn in Tanzania
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery The Authoritarian Turn in Tanzania Dan Paget is a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford, where he is writing his thesis on election campaigning in sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular the uses of the rally. While living in Tanzania in 2015, he witnessed the general election campaign and the beginning of Magufuli’s presidency first-hand. Abstract Since 2015, Tanzania has taken a severe authoritarian turn, accompanied by rising civil disobedience. In the process, it has become a focal point in debates about development and dictatorship. This article unpicks what is happening in contemporary Tanzania. It contends that Tanzania is beset by a struggle over its democratic institutions, which is rooted in rising party system competition. However, this struggle is altered by past experience in Zanzibar. The lessons that both government and opposition have drawn from Zanzibar make the struggle in mainland Tanzania more authoritarian still. These dynamics amount to a new party system trajectory in Tanzania Dan Paget 2 The Tanzanian general election of 2015 seemed like a moment of great democratic promise. Opposition parties formed a pre-electoral coalition, which held. They were joined by a string of high-profile defectors from the ruling CCM (Chama cha Mapinduzi, or the Party of the Revolution). The defector-in-chief, Edward Lowassa, became the opposition coalition’s presidential candidate and he won 40 per cent of the vote, the strongest showing that an opposition candidate has ever achieved in Tanzania. -

Mkutano huu ni wa kwanza baada ya Serikali ya Awamu ya Nne kutimiza mwaka mmoja madarakani. Taarifa za mafanikio na changamoto zilizojitokeza zimewasilishwa kupitia mikutano mbalimbali ya Chama Tawala, Serikali na vyombo mbalimbali vya habari. Mheshimiwa Spika, kwa masikitiko makubwa, nachukua nafasi hii tena kwa niaba ya Serikali na wafanyakazi wa Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu kutoa rambirambi kwako wewe Mheshimiwa Spika, kwa Waheshimiwa Wabunge wote, kwa familia, jamaa na marafiki kwa msiba uliotokana na kifo cha aliyekuwa Mbunge wa Tunduru, na Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, (Bunge na Uratibu) Marehemu Juma Jamaldin Akukweti. Wote tulimfahamu Marehemu Akukweti kwa umakini na umahiri wake hapa Bungeni. Marehemu Akukweti alifariki kutokana na ajali ya ndege iliyokuwa inamrejesha Dar es Salaam baada ya kumaliza kazi ya kukagua soko la Mwanjelwa lililoteketea kwa moto mkoani Mbeya. Katika ajali hiyo Watumishi wa Serikali walipoteza maisha. Watumishi hao ni Bibi Theresia Nyantori, Mwandishi wa Habari wa Idara ya Habari; Bwana Nathaniel Katinila, Mratibu wa Mradi wa Masoko; na Bwana George Bendera, Afisa Habari Idara ya Maafa, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu. Majeruhi katika ajali hiyo ambao bado wanapata matibabu lakini wametoka hosptali ni Bw. Nisetas Kanje, Katibu wa Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, (Bunge na Uratibu); na rubani wa ndege hiyo Bw. Martin Sumari. Tunamwomba Mwenyezi Mungu awasaidie majeruhi wote waweze kupona haraka na kurudia katika afya zao.
