Kassim Majaliwa

Kassim Majaliwa was appointed Prime Minister by President John Magufuli after the 2015 election. He succeeded Mizengo Pinda and became the head of government, responsible for coordinating cabinet activities and policy implementation.

As Prime Minister, Majaliwa coordinated Tanzania's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including public health measures and economic support programs. The government initially downplayed the pandemic but later adopted more conventional measures.

Following President Magufuli's death, new President Samia Suluhu Hassan reappointed Majaliwa as Prime Minister in 2021. He continued in the role, supporting Suluhu's administration and policy direction.
