Daniel Chapo , 48 , took 65% of votes in a poll that opposition leaders, electoral observers and the public at large said was doctored.

He is calling on Mozambicans to take to the streets on inauguration day "against the thieves of the people" Both of Mozambique 's leading opposition parties Renamo and MDM say they are boycotting Wednesday 's swearing-in ceremony.

Chapo is advised to sack the country's Police Chief Bernadino Rafael , analysts have told the BBC .

He denies any wrongdoing but is regarded by some as the mastermind of the brutal response to the post-election protests.

Chapo will be the first president of Mozambique who did not fight in the independence war.
