Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn in for a second term on Monday following elections whose credibility was questioned by Western and African observers.

President Mnangagwa, 80, won 52.6 percent of the vote against main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa’s 44 percent in the August 23 to 24 presidential elections.
