The election of Jakaya Kikwete as Tanzania's fourth president, on December 14th, was widely expected. It was the margin of his victory that turned heads. Mr Kikwete took 80% of the vote in the presidential election. The Party of the Revolution, or Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), of which Mr Kikwete is the sleekest apparatchik, did even better, winning 206 of 232 parliamentary seats. That was a bitter blow for a fractured opposition that had hoped to win 100 seats and establish a genuine multi-party democracy in Tanzania for the first time.
