Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema sworn in for a second term. [Screen grab]
Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema was sworn in for a second term Tuesday with the main opposition leader -- who was the runner-up in last month's elections -- in jail on treason charges.
The August 13 ballot was marred by allegations of intimidation, pro-government bias and restrictions on the opposition, tarnishing the copper-rich country's democratic reputation.
Thousands of people wearing the red colours of Hichilema's UPND party packed the Lusaka stadium as he took the oath at a ceremony attended by a handful of African leaders.
