Lowassa served as Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office during President Ali Hassan Mwinyi's second term. He sought the nomination of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) as its presidential candidate in 1995 but was eliminated in the early stages single-handedly by the charismatic former President Julius Nyerere, who strongly believed that Lowassa was not then correct material for the Presidency. He retained his parliamentary seat and became a strong backbencher in Parliament until 1997 when he was appointed Minister for State in the Vice President's Office for Environment and Poverty. Following the 2000 general elections, he was appointed Minister of Water and Livestock Development and made his mark as a hardworking minister. In 2005 Lowassa elected not to seek the CCM presidential nomination but became a key campaigner for his long-time friend, Jakaya Kikwete, in his bid for the presidential seat. Kikwete, running on a CCM ticket, won the elections comfortably by beating other contestants by a large margin. He polled 82% of the votes. In return, President Kikwete nominated Lowassa as Prime Minister on 29 December 2005. Parliament overwhelmingly confirmed the nomination, with 312 votes in favour and two opposed, and Lowassa was sworn in on 30 December.[2]

Lowassa resigned on 7 February 2008 following a parliamentary select committee report on an emergency power generation contract between the Tanzania Electric Supply Company Ltd (TANESCO), a public corporation, and a US company styled Richmond Development Company LLC of Houston, Texas. The five-member select committee, headed by a radical Kyela MP, Dr. Harrison Mwakyembe, considered the contract to have been fraudulently concluded, hence unconscionable and blamed the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and the Prime Minister's Office for foul play. Upon resignation, Lowassa informed the Tanzania Parliament that he had tendered his resignation to the President to protect the image of the government and his party in the wake of the damning parliamentary select committee report, which directly blamed the Prime Minister and two cabinet ministers who had held the energy portfolio, Dr. Ibrahim Msabaha and Nazir Karamagi. Lowassa and the two ministers were forced to resign.
