Hichilema Secures Second Term in Zambia | Mobile News

from Mobile News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has won a decisive second term, securing 61.4% of the vote and avoiding a runoff. His victory comes amid his ambitious economic recovery efforts since taking office in 2021, including debt restructuring and inflation control. While voting was largely peaceful, the process faced serious challenges: attacks on officials, stolen ballots, arrests of opposition figures, and last-minute legal changes that tilted the playing field. EU observers and Catholic Bishops criticized the environment as restrictive and raised alarms over military involvement in vote counting. Hichilema pledged to listen to all Zambians and continue his development agenda for another five years. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
