Billy Kenoi officially began his role as the mayor of Hawaii’s Big Island today, when he was sworn in today at an inaugural ceremony at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium in Hilo.

The new mayor, the youngest to ever hold the seat in Hawaii County, took the oath administered by the Honorable judge Ronald Ibarra before a large crowd of supporters, citizens and government colleagues.

After the oath, Kenoi gave a speech, focusing on the challenges his administration faces ahead.

Also sworn into new office terms at the inauguration: Hawaii County Prosecuting Attorney Jay Kimura, and the entire nine member County Council.

There was more to the inauguration at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium than oath administrations. There was cultural ceremony, music, a list of dignitaries from Oahu, and grinds for the public.

In this video, a small sample of the events surrounding the swear-ins is shown, from procession to recession, and some footage from in between.
