Election News: Zambia's 2026 presidential election was thrown into chaos this month.
After polls closed on August 13, vote counting had to be suspended entirely — violence against polling staff, and marked ballot papers stolen straight out of ballot boxes. Eleven arrests followed, including opposition figures caught in a raid involving gunfire. The runner-up has since taken refuge at a UN facility, fearing arrest, and is now suing to overturn the result.
