General elections were held in Zanzibar on 20 March 2016. The 2016 election was conducted as a re-run of the annulled 2015 Zanzibari general election. Only the Zanzibari President, Zanzibar House of Representatives and local legislative elections were part of the re-run.[1][2]
The election had a seemingly low turnover compared to previous elections as the opposition had boycotted the re-run. The opposition criticize the government in rigging the system against them after the election they believed to be victorious was annulled in 2015.[3]
Due to the boycott, Ali Mohamed Shein won the presidency by a landslide and continued his second term.[4]
