Uganda’s President Yowrei Museveni has been sworn in for a seventh – and possibly final – five-year term in office, as the country prepares to become an oil producer by the end of the year.

Museveni took the oath of office on Tuesday and received the ceremonial instruments of power in the capital, Kampala.
His seventh term in office will be marked by the start of oil production, with France's TotalEnergies and China's Cnooc expected to begin crude production at their Uganda fields in October.
The swearing-in ceremony, attended by dozens of heads of state, was Museveni's seventh – and possibly his last.
