Mr Magufuli took the oath of office at a sports stadium in the capital, Dodoma, with crowds streaming in from early in the morning.

Mr Magufuli won 84% of the vote, in a poll rejected by the opposition as fraudulent.

His main rival, Tundu Lissu, got 13% of the vote.

The election commission denied that the election was rigged.
