| Abstract: | Tanzania's first multiparty elections in October will be held against a backdrop of corruption, financial scandals and a murky political atmosphere, especially in Zanzibar. Adding to this messy backdrop is the tussle between Tanganyika (the mainland) and Zanzibar. Tanzania's ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) faces serious challengers - in the form of the Civic United Front (CUF) in Zanzibar, and the National Convention for Construction and Reform (NCCR-Mageuzi) on the mainland. The CCM's chances in Zanzibar are considered slim. CUF claims to have the support of at least 60% of the isles' 750,000 population and expects the race for the isles' Presidency to be a walkover for its Vice-Chairman, Seif Sharif Hamadi, crushing the CCM incumbent, Dr Salmin Amour. |
