AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-ELECTION-RESULTKABUL, September 30 – Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai was sworn in as new Afghanistan president on Monday in the nation’s first democratic transfer of power, Xinhua news agency reported.

Ghani Ahmadzai took his oath at a ceremony attended by some 1,400 local and international dignitaries at the presidential palace amid tight security in the capital.

The new president’s rival Abdullah Abdullah was appointed on the same day as chief executive, a post equal to that of prime minister in the new government. Ghani Ahmadzai replaced former president Hamid Karzai.
