1962 Tanganyikan presidential election
Presidential elections were held in Tanganyika in 1962. They were the first elections following independence the previous year and the decision to form a republic. Julius Nyerere, leader of the ruling Tanganyika African National Union and incumbent Prime Minister won easily, claiming 99.2% of the votes.[1][2] A month later, the country was proclaimed a one-party state with TANU as the sole legal party. No further multi-party elections were held until 1995.
