The vice president of Zanzibar (
Swahili: Makamu wa Rais wa Zanzibar) is a political position in
Zanzibar. The vice presidency was created by the 2010 amendments made to the Zanzibar Constitution. First Vice President is supposed to come from a political party other than that of the
President of Zanzibar. According to the Constitution, the Second Vice President is supposed to be a member of the
Zanzibar House of Representatives, and must come from the same political party as the President.[2]
The vice presidency could be considered only ceremonial.[3]
