Tanzania’s President, Samia Suluhu Hassan, has nominated former finance minister Mwigulu Nchemba as the country’s new Prime Minister. The announcement comes in the wake of last month’s disputed presidential election.

According to Reuters, the nomination is expected to receive parliamentary approval. Meanwhile, opposition parties continue to challenge the election results, alleging irregularities. The disputes have been accompanied by violent protests in several regions, raising concerns about political stability in the country.
