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 2002 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 2016 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.
thanks

GOOD FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA.

Good for the development of democracy in Africa.

The new leader should be a father to all and do his best to improve on the lives of the common Zambia citizen.

This can never happen in Nigeria...

By the way, the population of Kano State is more than the population of entire Zambia as a country.

I wonder why most Nigerians are always obsessed by a population that lives below the poverty line.. Sweden has a population lesser than Kano State but a GDP higher than Nigeria. Do you have anything to say.?

For the records the population of Zambia at 18 million exceeds that of Kano State.

Congrats after a long run for what he believe in. But my problem is hope he will not be like some African leaders after gaining power they show their true colour. We are watching him to do the best and make the country peaceful and united.

Congratulations to the New President of Zambia.... Obasanjo was allowed to visit Hichilema while Hichilema was in Prison, so many diplomats even the first President of the same Zambia were not allowed to visit Hichilema.....Hate or Like him, Obasanjo get mouth in international Politics.


It always bothered me how smaller countries can can conduct free and fair elections without interference from the seat of government, just look at small Benin Republic how they resist lawlessness from us in the case of Sunday Igboho, where are we going from here , who did this to us, we are gradually becoming a laughing stock within the comity of Nations, why cant our leaders make laws that will be punishable in deeds and in acts, rather than lips service and selective judgements, there is no way we can move forwards if offences are not addressed within the international acceptable standard.

That was when they finished counting the votes and there was apprehension that if delayed, Lungu could do something before morning.

There was tension and everyone was on red alert.

Kudos to the electoral commission - I heard they really stood their ground.

Yea........It wasn't easy.

Lungu, at a point....was alleging irregularities in the election. However, he just congratulated Hichelima.

Btw.........I was listening to your President at the Zondo Commission some days ago......I was just laughing, don't ask me why? grin grin

I don't believe the Zuma ill-health story. Anyway, he could be in hospital for 6 months according to his doctor.

Another case of wasting the courts' time, Omotoso. They should just throw him in jail together with JZ and throw away the key. Or do u consider your homeboi innocent? grin

Very few people get this sort of dramatic arrest treatment in SA - he's definitely a crook.

Case adjourned to 17/08/21.

But did Omotoso, Sulani & Sitho really commit the crime?
