MAPUTO, Jan 15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Mozambique swore in Daniel Chapo as 
president Wednesday following months of post-election violence that an NGO 
says has killed more than 300 people.

Vowing "to devote all my energies to defending, promoting and consolidating 
national unity", Chapo, 48, extends his Frelimo party's 50-year rule of the 
gas-rich African nation. Opposition candidate Venancio Mondlane claims that 
the October election was rigged.
