Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as the President of Zimbabwe, three days after Robert Mugabe, resigned, ending a 37-year rule that was characterised by political and economic chaos.
Mr. Mnangagwa was sworn in amidst cheers by thousands who gathered at the stadium.
Mr. Mnangagwa, who was vice president, was earlier sacked by Mr. Mugabe early November for being “disloyal.”
Mr. Mugabe, 93, who has asked to be allowed to die peacefully in Zimbabwe, was absent at Friday’s inauguration.
