Togo's President Faure Gnassingbé was sworn for a fourth term on Sunday at a subdued ceremony in the capital, Lome.
Mr Gnassingbé won re-election in February but opposition leader Agbéyomé Kodjo has rejected the results. The president's office denies allegations of widespread fraud.
He has led Togo's population of eight million people since 2005 after taking over following the death of his father Gnassingbé Eyadema, who ruled for 38 years.
French public broadcaster RFI reports that Sunday's event was attended by government officials and diplomats.
President of the Constitutional Court Abdou Assouma, who was present, warned against any challenge to the election results, according to RFI.

I don't have a problem with how long he has stayed in office or how long he will stay in office. But I will a problem if for all the years he has been in power there has not been any significant progress in the lives of the people of Togo. Are the people better off today than they were before he took over. What has been his contribution to unemployment, education, health care, infrastructure, workers' wages, etc. If the answers to the questions are in the negative then I will urge the people of Togo to try another person next time.
Are there no men in Togo or there is no one fit for president except Gnassingbe chooooo
