Magufuli sworn-in during a ceremony attended by Ugandan, Zimbabwean leaders

NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 5- Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli was on Thursday sworn-in for a second term, which will last for 5 years.

Dozens of leaders across the world attended the ceremony led by Yoweri Museveni Uganda and Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe.

President Uhuru Kenyatta was represented by EAC Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohammed.

Foreign envoys among them US Ambassador to Tanzania Donald J. Wright also were present.

It was expected to be seen whether President Magufuli will reach out to the bitter opposition in a bid to unite the sharply divided country after a divisive election marred by malpractices.

Observers and the International Community have cast doubt on the credibility of the just concluded elections.

The ceremony was held at Jamhuri Stadium in the capital Dar es Salaam.
