Hichilema Secures Second Term As Zambia President, Beats Mundubile

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has been re-elected for a second five-year term after defeating opposition candidate Brian Mundubile by more than one million votes.

The Electoral Commission of Zambia declared Hichilema the winner on Tuesday with 2,965,326 votes, while Mundubile secured 1,856,217 votes.

Hichilema, who first assumed office in 2021, will now continue his economic reform agenda and efforts to attract investment to Zambia.

However, Mundubile’s alliance has questioned the conduct of the election and the counting of votes, while Hichilema’s supporters have rejected the allegations.
