Zambia’s opposition leader is set to challenge President Hakainde Hichilema’s election victory in court, disputing the outcome of the presidential election.
The opposition says there were irregularities in the electoral process and is seeking legal intervention over the results. Hichilema and his supporters have defended the election outcome, while authorities have maintained that the vote was conducted according to the law.
The court challenge could prolong political tensions in Zambia as the country awaits a legal ruling on the disputed election result.
