Gender parity remains an unmet goal in Tanzanian politics, necessitating targeted interventions to increase female representation and influence. Integrating gender training for political leaders and implementing quotas for women’s participation are recommended steps. Political Transitions, Gender Dynamics, Power Distribution, Tanzania
