Zambia: Hichilema Takes Early Lead in Elections - Electoral Commission
[allAfrica] Cape Town -- President Hakainde Hichilema took an early lead in Zambia's general election, with more than half of the country's constituencies counted, according to the electoral commission.
President Hakainde Hichilema currently leads Zambia's general election, with over half of the country's constituencies having reported their results, according to the electoral commission. The incumbent has secured approximately 59% of the vote so far, suggesting he will likely avoid a run-off poll. However, the election results have been tainted by allegations from the opposition.
The National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) has accused electoral officials of raiding the home of their candidate, Brian Mundubile. Opposition leader Brian Mundubile claims victory despite the ongoing reports of violence.
