Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn in as Zimbabwe’s president after a failed court bid by the opposition to overturn the results of last month’s disputed presidential election.
Mnangagwa, 75, took the oath of office in the capital, Harare, on Sunday, two days after the Constitutional Court ruled that the Movement for Democratic Change failed to prove its allegation that the July 30 vote was rigged.
