Tanzania's Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) is one of Africa's longest-ruling parties. Formed in 1977 from the merger of the Tanganyika African National Union and the Afro-Shirazi Party, it has governed mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar since then.
Tanzania's ruling CCM party, which has dominated the east African nation's politics for decades, won a landslide victory in this week's local elections, official results showed Thursday.
Widely seen as a key test for the country's democratic institutions ahead of
presidential elections next year, the vote on Wednesday was marked by claims of rigging and incidents of violence.
Tanzania was electing more than 80,000 local leaders, who wield considerable power.
The official results showed that the CCM of
President Samia Suluhu Hassan scored more than 98 percent, with 18 other parties sharing the remaining seats.
"These elected leaders should be immediately sworn in," Minister of State Mohamed Mchengerwa, who is in charge of the polls, said, announcing the results.
The vote was Hassan's first test at the ballot box ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections next October.
