Most political attention was focused on various high-level cases of alleged corruption, leading to the unprecedented resignation of the prime minister and of several ministers. No solution was found to the long-simmering political confrontation in Zanzibar, and new strains emerged in the union between Tanzania's mainland and Zanzibar. Despite signs of the government's growing unpopularity, the control of President Jakaya Kikwete and his long-ruling ‘Chama cha Mapinduzi’ (CCM, Party of the Revolution) was never seriously in dispute. As AU chairman for most of the year, Kikwete assumed an active role in pan-African affairs. Macroeconomic performance continued to be fairly satisfactory, although the population enjoyed little direct improvement in its living standards.
