Ex Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has been elected President of Somalia.
Farmajo was declared winner today after beating rivals in the second round of vote and was immediately sworn into office.
He got 184 votes, to beat incumbent Hassan Sheikh, who had 97 and Sheikh Shariff, 46.
Incumbent Hassan Sheikh Mohamud conceded just when the process was about to enter a final round.
His victory means Somalia maintains the culture of electing a new President at each election.
