Mozambique Swears In New President Amid Post-Election Violence
Mozambique's opposition politician Venancio Mondlane continues to challenge the result of October's presidential election, even as the ruling Frelimo party's candidate, Daniel Chapo, is being sworn in as the country's next president. Chapo, 48, previously served as governor of Inhambane Province before his election.
The new Members of Parliament were sworn in ahead of the scheduled inauguration on Wednesday, January 15. Two other opposition parties, Renamo and the Mozambique Democratic Movement, had earlier ordered their elected deputies not to take their seats in Parliament.
There are reports that the President of Portugal - Mozambique's former colonial power - Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa may not attend the inauguration, although regional leaders have sent delegations.
President-elect Daniel Chapo will be inaugurated after the contested elections in October 2024. Protests against the results continue, with a growing daily death toll.
