Newly elected Tanzanian MP in the Parliament for their first session without official opposition following the chaotic elections.

A total of 115 Members of Parliament have been appointed under the Special Seats arrangement.

Of these, 113 belong to the ruling CCM, while two represent the Chaumma party, signaling the party’s growing presence on the national stage.

This time, the absence of an official opposition is due to the small number of opposition MPs, currently standing at 12 in total — 10 directly elected and two through Special Seats — out of 396 MPs. Two constituencies are yet to hold elections.

In total, Parliament comprises 270 constituency MPs, 115 Special Seats MPs, and the Attorney General, who serves as an ex-officio member.
