Mozambique has been grappling with protests since the electoral commission's announcement of the preliminary results of the general elections held last October. The commission stated that the ruling FRELIMO party and its presidential candidate, Daniel Chapo, had won.
Daniel Chapo, leader of the ruling FRELIMO party, took the oath as president of Mozambique on Wednesday.
At the ceremony, the 48-year-old former journalist promised "to devote all my energies to defending, promoting, and consolidating national unity, human rights, democracy, and the well-being of the Mozambican people."
The inauguration comes after months of deadly protests organized by the opposition, which does not recognize the results of the country's recent presidential election.
