Hichilema Wins Second Term as Zambia's President with Roughly 60% of Vote

Zambia's Electoral Commission declared President Hakainde Hichilema the winner of the August 13 presidential election with roughly 60 percent of valid votes, securing a second term. Main challenger Brian Mundubile received roughly 38 percent. The vote was marred by a counting suspension after violence against polling staff, ballot theft, an armed raid near Mundubile, and Mundubile's refusal to accept the result, alleging altered results forms.
