   Mon, 22 March 2021

Tanzania’s new president needs to secure the ruling party leadership, appoint a loyalist vice-president, and seek the support of party leaders and security chiefs if she wants to remain in office until 2025 despite having little political clout. In the meantime, her administration will make a U-turn on its coronavirus response, but little economic policy changes are expected, and foreign investors will continue to face severe contract risks.
