    Tanzanian Prime Minister To Step Down In Surprise Move

    By News Point NigeriaJuly 3, 2025
    Tanzania Prime Minister

    TANZANIA’s Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa has announced that he will not seek re-election in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, effectively preventing him from being re-appointed.

    Majaliwa had earlier said that he would defend his legislative seat for a fourth time in October before making the surprise announcement on Wednesday.

    The 64-year-old was appointed prime minister in 2015 and was seen as a possible successor of the late President John Magufuli after his death in 2021.

    He has continued to hold the position under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who is seeking to retain the presidency under the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

    Majaliwa, who has represented the coastal Ruangwa region since 2010, said his decision was guided by God and he had made it “in good faith”.

    “It is time to give others the opportunity to unite and build on the development foundation we’ve established,” said Majaliwa, without elaborating on his reasons to pull out from the elections.

    It comes just a week after Majaliwa said that he would seek another term in parliament.

    He also told Ruangwa residents last September that he would run again, with his unexpected withdrawal sparking speculation of a power struggle within the ruling party.

    Majaliwa said he would continue serving as a senior CCM official and support Samia’s presidential bid.

    In Tanzania, the prime minister leads the government business in parliament and is appointed by the president from among the elected MPs.

    Seen as a quiet but firm leader, Majaliwa is credited with ensuring a smooth and calm political transition after Magufuli’s death.

    The former teacher rose to become an influential figure within the CCM party, which has governed Tanzania since 1977. He served as a junior minister under former President Jakaya Kikwete.

    His exit follows that of Vice-President Philip Mpango, who in May announced his retirement from politics.
