Tanzanian president-elect John Pombe Magufuli was sworn in for a second term after winning the Tanzania election last week.
Magufuli won 84% of the total votes in elections held on October 28. He was elected as the fifth President of Tanzania and is in office since 2015.
Tanzania held its general election on 28 October and President Magufuli was re-elected for his second, five-year term with 84.4 percent of the vote, ahead of his closest challenger, Tundu Lissu of opposition Chadema party, who credited with 13 percent.
On Thursday 5th November, Magufuli has taken the oath of office for a second five-year term amid tight security after the opposition called for a fresh election.
The swearing-in ceremony, at the Jamhuri Stadium in the capital, Dodoma, was witnessed by several foreign dignitaries, including President Yoweri Museveni of neighbouring Uganda, President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe, and President Azali Assoumani of Comoros.
