Zambia Holds Presidential Election as Hichilema Seeks Second Term

Zambians are heading to the polls for a presidential election in which incumbent Hakainde Hichilema is seeking a second term in office. Hichilema, who won his first term with a landmark victory, is now facing a more challenging political environment. Rising cost of living pressures have eroded some of his earlier public support. The economic hardships experienced by ordinary Zambians have become a central issue in this electoral contest.
