A referendum to create a new structure of government, a Government of National Unity, was on the ballot in Zanzibar on July 31, 2010. The measure was approved with 66.4 percent of voters in favor and 33.6 percent opposed. Voter turnout for the election was 71.3 percent.[1]

The referendum created a new government structure, a Government of National Unity (GNU), following the general election. Under the GNU, two vice presidents from the top two parties are elected in the country's parliamentary elections and the losing party in the presidential election nominates the first vice president.
