Quick Summary

Mohammed Shamte Hamadi served as the chief minister of Zanzibar in 1961. This was during a period when Zanzibar was transitioning towards self-governance. In June 1963, internal self-government was established, followed by elections in July of that year. The Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP) and the Zanzibar and Pemba People's Party (ZPPP) coalition formed the government, with Hamadi as chief minister. Zanzibar gained independence on December 10, 1963. In January 1964, a revolution overthrew the sultanate, and a republic was proclaimed, with Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume installed as president. Zanzibar then merged with Tanganyika on April 26, 1964, to form the United Republic of Tanzania.1234
