Dar es Salaam, November 13 (Xinhua) — Tanzania's parliament on Thursday unanimously approved the appointment of Mwigulu Nchemba as the country's new prime minister. His candidacy was nominated by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
Parliament Speaker Moussa Azzan Zungu announced the results of the secret ballot in the parliament hall in the capital, Dodoma, to applause from the members present. Of the 371 members present, 369 voted "yes," and two ballots were invalidated.
M. Nchemba, an economist and experienced politician from the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party, previously served as Finance Minister. He replaced Kassim Majaliwa, who led the government for ten years.
M. Nchemba, 50, represents the Iramba West constituency in parliament. He became Tanzania's 12th prime minister since independence in 1961.
In his speech, M. Nchemba promised to prioritize the welfare of Tanzanian citizens and make every effort to advance national development goals.
Later that day, he was formally sworn in at the Chamwino State House in the capital, Dodoma, in the presence of President S. Suluhu Hassan. –0–
