Tanzanian leader Samia Suluhu Hassan began another term in office during a military ceremony held on Monday in the capital city of Dodoma. The president received 98 percent of the votes in elections that concluded on Saturday, according to official results.
Hassan took her oath before the nation's chief justice at a secured parade ground where government ministers and military personnel gathered for the formal proceedings.
