Mohamed Irfaan Ali is sworn in as president of Guyana, South America’s newest oil producer
Election authorities in the South American nation of Guyana declared opposition candidate Mohamed Irfaan Ali as the country’s president, ending a political stalemate that had hampered the region’s newest oil-producing nation since March.
Mr. Ali, a 40-year-old former housing minister and lawmaker, was sworn into office Sunday, promising to unify the former British colony that has long been plagued by ethnic rivalry between citizens descended from Africa and India who make up the majority of its nearly 800,000 population.
