AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoZambia Election Update: Zambia’s Electoral Commission (ECZ) lifted its nationwide suspension on vote counting after violence against poll staff and theft of marked ballot papers, saying security threats were contained. Counting resumed and the first official batch of presidential results came from four constituencies (out of 226), with President Hakainde Hichilema leading: 22,476 votes versus Brian Mundubile’s 14,388. ECZ said more results will follow, with the final expected by Aug 17. Political Tensions: Mundubile and his allies traded accusations of military interference and premature victory claims, while Zambia Police dismissed social media reports that Mundubile was arrested. Law and Order: Police arrested nine suspects over the alleged murder of a polling agent in Matero and warned against statements that could incite violence. International Clarification: The UN in Zambia denied it has an electoral observation mandate and said claims of UN endorsement of candidates are false.
