Dar es Salaam, November 1 (Xinhua) — Tanzania's incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan, representing the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Revolutionary Party, CCM), won the presidential election with 97.66 percent of the vote, the country's Independent National Electoral Commission announced on Saturday.
Thus, S.S. Hassan became the first woman elected president of Tanzania. She assumed her first term as president in March 2021, following the death of then-leader John Magufuli, under whom she served as vice president, from cardiovascular disease. This was a historic event for Tanzania, where supreme power had previously always been in the hands of men.
General elections took place in the country on Wednesday. They were marred by several days of violent protests.
In elections held every five years, Tanzanians chose their president, members of parliament, and local council members. Seventeen parties nominated candidates for the presidency, and 18 contested seats in parliament and local councils.
