For the National Assembly election there were two candidates from the same party in each constituencies, whilst the presidential election was effectively a referendum on CCM leader Ali Hassan Mwinyi's candidacy.

The number of constituencies was increased from 119 to 130.^[1][2] Voter turnout was 74% of the 7,296,553 registered voters.^[3][4]
