Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa greets supporters
The President of Zimbabwe took the oath of office on Sunday, calling for unity following a disputed election that the opposition claimed was marred by fraud. Emmerson Mnangagwa, 75, won the July 30 election with 50.6 per cent of the vote, after ascending to the presidency in November 2017 following a military coup that ousted longtime leader Robert Mugabe, under whom he served as Vice President. "We are all Zimbabweans; what unites us is greater than what could ever divide us," Mnangagwa said via his official Twitter.
