President Samia Suluhu Hassan has announced Tanzania’s new cabinet, comprising 27 ministers and 29 deputy ministers, marking one of the most comprehensive government reshuffles in recent years.
The full list—released on Monday, November 17, 2025—reflects the administration’s effort to strengthen performance, streamline government operations, and respond to emerging national priorities.
The reshuffle also aligns with President Samia’s ongoing reform agenda, aimed at accelerating economic growth, improving service delivery, and enhancing accountability across ministries.
This cabinet announcement follows a period of intense political activity, including the swearing-in of new lawmakers and ongoing preparations for implementing post-election policy commitments.
Several ministries have undergone structural adjustments to address evolving national needs, including sectors such as youth development, infrastructure, education, health, natural resources, and digital transformation.
The appointment of 29 deputy ministers is expected to bolster support for ministerial duties, ensuring efficiency in policy execution and administrative management.
The updated team is particularly tasked with driving the government’s strategic priorities for 2025 and beyond, including job creation, public-sector reforms, and strengthening regional cooperation.
The list was released through Mwananchi Communications Limited (MCL) and shared by The Citizen as part of its continuing coverage of key national developments.
Full details of the ministers and deputies were provided to the public to enhance transparency and keep citizens informed about the individuals entrusted with leading the nation’s ministries.
President Samia’s latest move has sparked wide public interest, coming shortly after additional political developments—including opposition petitions in Zanzibar and newly appointed envoys for national reconciliation efforts in Tanzania.
As the new cabinet begins its work, citizens and analysts will be closely watching how the changes shape governance and policy implementation in the months ahead.
