Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Emmerson Mnangagwa, vowing a "brighter tomorrow" for Zimbabwe, was sworn in as the African nation's president on Sunday.
On Friday, the Constitutional Court confirmed Mnangagwa as president, rejecting a challenge by his opponent in the July 30 ballot, opposition leader Nelson Chamisa. Mnangagwa had secured 50.8 percent of the votes needed to avoid a runoff.
