The Magufuli Cabinet was formed by President of Tanzania John Magufuli after taking the oath of office on 5 November 2015. Magufuli won the 2015 general election with 58% of the vote in a tightly contested race against ex-CCM Chadema rival Edward Lowassa. After being sworn in on 5 November 2015, Magufuli announced his cabinet almost a month later, on 10 December 2015. He reduced the cabinet to 19 ministers from 30 in the previous cabinet.[1]
First Term
Inaugural Cabinet
Magufuli's running mate during the 2015 general election was Samia Suluhu; his victory secured Tanzania's first female Vice President of Tanzania. His next appointment was Kassim Majaliwa for the post of Prime Minister.
