John Magufuli has been sworn in as Tanzania's new president in front of about 20,000 people at a stadium in the main city Dar es Salaam.  Nicknamed "The Bulldozer", he appeared to be in a conciliatory mood, saying he saw them as strong competitors who made his work hard for his victory.

He said he looked forward to working with them in future.
Defeated presidential candidate Edward Lowassa and his opposition Ukawa coalition boycotted the ceremony.
