Daniel Chapo Sworn in as Mozambique President

Daniel Chapo was sworn in as Mozambique's new president amid ongoing protests and unrest following disputed elections that resulted in over 300 deaths. The opposition, led by Venâncio Mondlane, has rejected the election results, claiming they were marred by fraud, and has called for a national strike on inauguration day. Chapo, who won 65% of the vote according to official results, addressed the need for social and political stability and pledged to prioritize dialogue and national unity. However, the heavy police presence and opposition protests during the inauguration reflected deep public distrust of his legitimacy. Analysts warn that Chapo faces significant challenges, including economic issues and the need to dismantle entrenched corruption, all while managing a highly polarized political landscape. The situation in Mozambique continues to evolve as protests persist and the international community watches closely.
