S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Tanzania’s 13th Parliament convened with the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) holding a majority, while the official opposition remained absent due to insufficient numbers. Of 396 MPs, 113 of 115 Special Seats belong to CCM, with two held by Chaumma. Opposition parties hold 12 seats, below the 12.5% threshold required for an official opposition. The new Parliament began sessions in Dodoma, including a State of the Union address by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
