Tanzania's ruling party on Sunday anointed government minister John Magufuli as its candidate for presidential elections due to be held in October, party officials said.
Magufuli, 55 and currently the east African nation's minister of works, will be widely expected to succeed President Jakaya Kikwete, who will be stepping down after his second and final term.
