Good development.
When an opposition party wins an election, especially in Africa, it shows credibility and fairness of the democratic processes.

Africans share same traits: tribalism, greed, wickedness, sexual perversity, illiteracy, callousness, laziness, visionlessness and witchcraft.

Never understood this Edgar Lungu - he was never my ideal guy to lead a humble nation such as Zambia.

Congrats to Hichilema and the people of Zambia - 6th or 7th time lucky I believe. Hope he takes Zambia to greater heights and that he also doesn't become crazy at some point, like most others.
its in the black man. He won't be any different.
Re: Hichilema Defeats Incumbent, Lungu In Zambia Presidential Race by luizpippo(m): 8:24am On Aug 16, 2021
Basically, Edgar Lungu's govt stupid decision to arrest him paved the way for him.


Only Problem is he is a cattle rearer like our Aso Rock Mannequin, i hope cows doesn't become first class citizens also.

Presidency in Zambia is for a 5-year term, of which cannot exceed two tenures.

Unlike Nigeria where the Vice President continues the term when the President dies in Office, a bye-election will be conducted to replace the President according to the Zambia Constitution.

Levy Mwanawasa was President from 2001 and won re-election in 2006, but suffered a stroke in June 2008 and eventually died in August same year....His Deputy, Rupiah Banda won nomination from his UNIP party, contested and beat Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front to complete the tenure to 2011.

Banda ran and lost to Michael Sata who won in 2011.
Co-incidentally, Michael Sata died in office in October 2014, hence the bye-election was conducted in 2015 wherein his then Minister of Defence, Edgar Lungu won.

The Zambia Constitution states that a full term is considered when the President has been in Office for at least three of his five years, be it completed or substantive.

However, the Constitution was changed in 2015 wherein the Vice President will complete the tenure of a President who dies in Office.
