Zambia Heads to Polls with President Hichilema Expected to Win Second Term The general election in Zambia, scheduled to take place on Thursday, has been widely expected to give President Hakainde Hichilema a second term.
His economic record faces scrutiny from voters frustrated by the cost of living, prompting an examination of whether Hichilema's administration has truly delivered on its promises.
Hichilema has led Zambia since 2021 and steered the country through a debt restructuring and economic rebound after defaulting on its sovereign debt in 2020.
