The three finalists' profile
Dr Ali Mohammed Shein
Few people know that the incumbent Vice President, Dr Ali Mohammed Shein, is a medical doctor by training. He holds a PhD in clinical biochemistry and metabolic medicine, specialising in “Inborn errors of metabolism.”Being a medical doctor, Dr Shein has been a member of various professional organizations, including the Association of Clinical Biochemists of the UK, the Association of Clinical Pathologists for Eastern, Southern and Central Africa(APESCA), the Association of Clinical Pathologists of Tanzania and the International Association of Inborn Errors of Metabolism. The VP’s political career began way back in 1966 when he joined Afro-Shiraz Party Youth League (ASPYL) before he was named ASPYL publicity secretary at Lumumba Collage in Zanzibar. He joined CCM eight months after the party was born. He become a member of the CCM National Executive Committee for Pemba, South Region.


Many Tanzanians were caught by surprise when the former President Benjamin Mkapa appointed Dr Shein on July 13, 2001, to become the Vice President following the death of Dr Omar Ali Juma. Dr Shein's experience as a civil servant stretches back to 1969 when he joined the Isles’ Ministry of Education as assistant to the deputy principal secretary. Since then, he headed various government departments until October 1995 when he was nominated by the former Zanzibar President, Dr Salmin Amour, as a Member of the House of Representatives. A month later, he was appointed deputy minister in the Ministry of Health. On November 6, 2000, he was elected Member of the House of Representative for Mkanyageni constituency in Pemba, and on November 22, 2000, was appointed by President Amani Abeid Karume minister of State in the President's Office, responsible for Constitution and Good Governance.
Born in March 13, 1948 in Chokocho, Pemba, Dr Shein, apart from being a loyal civil servant, is a married man and a father. Those who happen to be close to him say he loves sports such as athletics and football. As an intellectual, he also loves reading.His critics say he is a “hard sale” because he is rather withdrawn, though he is known to be very pro-Union. Again, he is viewed by some of his close associates as a stickler to regulations and procedures.

Born on February 6, 1945, in Unguja, Dr Bilal is a scientist who obtained his first degree in nuclear science from Howard University in the US in 1967.In 1969 he obtained a master’s degree in nuclear science from California University also in the US.

During 2000 General Election, he contested the Zanzibar presidency but lost. Although CCM in Zanzibar had given him high marks, subsequent top party meetings deleted his name in favour of Mr Amani Abeid Karume who went on to win the Isles’ presidency.“Zanzibaris should expect major changes in development if I win the post. I will strengthen the Union and ensure that its problems are addressed,” says Dr Bilal.
