Dare es Salaam, Tanzania: Thursday morning Tanzanians witnessed the swearing in of Tanzania’s forth President Dr John Pombe Magufuli.

Several African leaders among other dignitaries were at Tanzania’s capital Dar es Salaam to witness the swearing in.

Ruling party’s candidate John Magufuli won Tanzania's hotly contested presidential elections with over 58 percent of votes, cementing the long-running Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party's firm grip on power. Samia Suluhu Hassan, from Zanzibar, becomes Tanzania's first ever female vice president.
