Tanzania – PM reappointed

It has been a good week for prime ministers so far. First, contrary to expectations, François Fillon was reappointed in France. Now, though it is less of a shock, Mizengo Pinda has been reappointed as prime minister in Tanzania.

Prime Minister Pinda was first appointed in February 2008. Earlier this week he was renominated to the post by newly re-elected President Jakaya Kikwete. Daily News is now reporting that PM Pinda’s nomination has been approved by 238 votes to 49 in the Tanzanian parliament.

Adam Carr is reporting the final result of the presidential election as follows:

However, I have found no trace of the result of the parliamentary election, including on the Electoral Commission website and on the website of the parliament.
