Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan nominated former finance minister Mwigulu Nchemba as the new prime minister on Thursday, in the wake of last month's disputed election.

The parliament is widely expected to approve his appointment in a vote later on Thursday given Hassan was declared the landslide winner of the October 29 vote.
