Zambia’s high-stakes election pits incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema against thirteen rivals, with Brian Mundubile as his top challenger — a race that hinges on whether voters believe Hichilema’s economic promises translate to real improvements on the ground. While he touts debt restructuring, growth, and investor attraction, Zambians grapple with unemployment, soaring food prices, and unreliable power. The election also carries global weight, given Zambia’s vital role in copper production for green tech. Tensions rose ahead of voting, with police ramping up security and opposition accusing the government of politically motivated raids — claims denied by authorities. Despite past peaceful transitions, this vote could reshape Zambia’s future — results are expected soon.
