Jovenel Moise sworn in as Haiti's new president

Jovenel Moise has been sworn in as Haiti's president for the next five years after a bruising two-year election cycle.
Moise took the oath of office today in a Parliament chamber packed with Haitian lawmakers and foreign dignitaries from countries including the US, Venezuela and France.
The entrepreneur from northern Haiti smiled slightly as the Senate leader slipped a red and blue presidential sash over his left shoulder.
Moise will outline his government's priorities in a speech later today.
He won a November election redo with 55 per cent, but his critics assert he didn't gain a mandate because only 21 percent of voters went to the polls.

The election victory came more than a year after Moise topped an initial vote that was eventually thrown out amid suspicions of fraud.
