Former Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi was inaugurated as Tanzania's new Vice President, replacing Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi who stepped down from the post last week. Ndejembi took the oath at State House in Dodoma on Saturday, August 29, 2026, following Parliament's unanimous approval of his nomination by the ruling party Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
President Samia Suluhu Hassan praised Ndejembi for his appointment, urging him to mature in wisdom rather than age. The President highlighted the significance of returning the Vice President role to a younger individual, emphasizing the need to nurture young talent. Ndejembi's appointment was approved by the Parliament on Friday, August 28, with all 324 MPs supporting his selection.
Dr Nchimbi, who was dismissed from the CCM party due to disciplinary issues, remains absent from public view.
