Politics of Tanzania

}}

The politics of Tanzania takes place in a framework of a unitary presidential democratic republic, whereby the President of Tanzania is both head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament. The party system is dominated by the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (''Revolutionary State Party''). The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

Since 2014, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (''Revolutionary State Party'') has under the presidencies of John Magufuli and Samia Suluhu Hassan overseen democratic backsliding and the development of a single-party state, as the party has repressed the opposition and prevented free and fair elections from taking place.
