Mugabe is sworn in for sixth term
Quote:
Robert Mugabe has been sworn in for a new five-year term as Zimbabwe's president after election officials declared a landslide victory for him.
A 21-gun salute and military jet fly-by greeted Mr Mugabe at the ceremony at his State House residence in Harare.
Official results show Mr Mugabe won all 10 provinces, with 85.5% of the vote, but there were many spoiled ballots.
He was the only candidate to run after the opposition boycotted the vote amid claims of state-sponsored violence.
