SALMIN AMOUR

Salmin Amour, born in 1942, is a Tanzanian politician who served as the President of Zanzibar from October 25, 1990, to November 8, 2000. His presidency began in a unique manner, as he was elected unopposed in 1990, securing an overwhelming 98 percent of the vote. This early triumph reflected his strong political presence and the backing of the ruling party at the time. However, Amour's presidency was not without controversy. During the first multi-party elections in Tanzania in 1995, he faced allegations of election manipulation. Opposition leader Seif Shariff Hamad accused him of rigging the Zanzibari presidential election, an accusation that cast a shadow over his leadership.

Amour's tenure was marked by political challenges, particularly in relation to the growing demand for a more democratic and transparent electoral process in Zanzibar. Despite the controversies, he remained a significant figure in the political landscape of Zanzibar until his departure from office in 2000.
