Abstract

In January 1964, Zanzibar witnessed a revolution that overridden the Independence of 1963. The revolution targeted the Arab rulers occupying native land. The revolution produces two contested beliefs in society. The effect of these beliefs became apparent during the single-party and multiparty system starting in 1992, where identity-based politics and political discontent were visible. In 2010, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar began jointly led by the two parties. The Chama Cha Mapinduzi, a descendant of the revolutionary party (Afro-Shiraz Party) and the Civic United Front, shifted to the Alliance for Change and Transparency (ACT). The CUF is often seen as a descendant of Arab parties (Zanzibar and Pemba People Party), with negative connotations of revolution. This paper explores the Government of National Unity in Zanzibar, a new political episode of revolutionary Government. It delves into the social, political, and economic factors that led revolutionary ideology to embrace a national unity government. The study reveals that the revolution's ideology has gradually changed from politics of isolation and exclusion to nationalization due to natural and artificial factors. These changes are brought by natural and artificial factors, including time, technology, development desire, and generation's shift.

Abstract

Zanzibar, A semi-autonomous nation of Tanzania has had a turbulent political conflict that resulted in a significant loss of life, injuries, and civic unrest. The birth of contestation of the conflict is the electoral process associated with political identity on the Island. 2010, Zanzibar adopted a power-sharing system through a referendum and subsequent constitutional amendment. The aim was to make power-sharing representable to the citizens and deeply rooted in society. Over a decade has passed, and it employs a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Two hundred eighty-seven (287) respondents participated in the survey, and 28 individuals engaged in interviews. The findings indicate that the citizens are satisfied with some aspects of power-sharing. They are satisfied with power-sharing in promoting unity and neutralizing identity politics. Evidence of this is reflected in citizens' cooperation and equitable treatment among different ethnicities and affiliations. However, a critical concern emerges in peace-building, particularly in managing electoral violence. The citizens argued that the electoral institutions are not well managed. This emphasizes having an impartial electoral system that is fair, transparent, and honest to make citizens trust the electoral process in Zanzibar.
