Mr Kabore, a former prime minister, secured 53.5% of the vote on Sunday after months of political unrest. It was the first election since last year's popular uprising which toppled longstanding President Blaise Compaore. The vote was due to have been held last month but was delayed by a failed coup in September led by members of the elite presidential guard. Mr Compaore, 64, is now living in exile in neighbouring Ivory Coast.
