General elections were held in Tanzania on 14 December 2005. Originally scheduled for 30 October, the elections were postponed due to the death of CHADEMA vice-presidential candidate Jumbe Mohamed Jumbe. The elections were the third since the country returned to multi-party rule in 1992. Incumbent President Benjamin Mkapa stepped down after two consecutive terms in accordance with the constitution. Elections for the Presidency of Zanzibar and its House of Representatives took place on 30 October, as scheduled.

The presidential election was won by Jakaya Kikwete of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), who received 80% of the vote, with Ibrahim Lipumba of the Civic United Front finishing second with 12%. In the parliamentary elections, the CCM won 264 of the 323 seats in the National Assembly.
