The inauguration of Levy Mwanawasa is taking place October 3 at the national Assembly.
The only public, are members of the Movement of Multiparty Democracy (MMD). Only the president of Namibia is attending, returning a favour that Mwanawasa made some years ago. Others from the region are vice presidents and government leaders.
Joshua Kanganja, the secretary to the cabinet made an introductory speech, referring to the electoral process and how this was lauded by monitors and observers as being free and fair.
The inauguration is taking place at National Assembly grounds and the whole is a very big fortress.
Justice Enerst Sakala was called to swear in the new president
"I Levy Patrick mwanawasa, having been constitutionally elected as president of Zambia and blah blah blah," Mwanawasa said to the cheers of MMD cadres. The Chief Justice handed over instruments of power.
And Kanganja called the president's wife to give her huusband the mother of all kisses she had promised on nomination day. The mwanawasa clan took over greeting the new president.
Of interest is the continued announcement that Lupando Mwape, defeated in the parliamentary elections, was still vice pressident.
