President: Benjamin Mkapa |
Tanzania will hold presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 December 2005. Originally scheduled for 30 October, the elections were postponed due to the death of a vice-presidential candidate. These polls will be the third since the country returned to multiparty rule in 1992. They are also significant in that the incumbent President Benjamin Mkapa, who has served two consecutive terms, will step down in accordance with the constitution. Elections for the Presidency of Zanzibar and its House of Representatives took place on 30 October, as scheduled.
