A ce remony began in Monrovia yesterday to swear in Liberia's new transitional leader Gyude Bryant, who is to steer the war-torn west African country to elections in 2005.

Interim President Moses Blah, who has served since his predecessor Charles Taylor went into exile in Nigeria on August 11, is to hand over power to Bryant, who was unanimously selected by the signatories to a peace accord on August 18.

The Ghanaian and Nigerian presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and John Kufuor were on hand for the swearing-in, as well as Alpha Oumar Konare, head of the African Union Commission.

Kufuor is the current president of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), which brokered the peace accord. – Sapa-AFP.
