DODOMA (Reuters) -Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan was sworn into office on Monday for her first elected term after winning a landslide victory in an election that excluded major opponents and set off deadly protests across the country.
The electoral commission on Saturday declared Hassan, who came to power in 2021 following the death in office of her predecessor, the winner of last week’s election with 97.66% of the vote.
