Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as Zimbabwe's president in a ceremony at a packed stadium in the country's capital, Harare.
It follows the dramatic departure of Robert Mugabe after 37 years of authoritarian rule, the BBC reported.
The former vice-president's dismissal earlier this month led the ruling Zanu-PF party and the army to intervene and force Mr Mugabe to quit.
The ceremony is at the National Sports Stadium and organisers have called on Zimbabweans to come and witness a "historic day".
