Just in..Zambia’s President Edgar Lungu has been re-elected, according to official results, which are being challenged by the main opposition party.
The electoral commission said Mr Lungu had secured 50.35% in Thursday’s vote, just over the 50% threshold needed to avoid a second round under a new electoral system.
His main rival, Hakainde Hichilema, who alleges electoral fraud, won 47.67%.
Earlier, his UPND party withdrew from the ballot verification process.
Official Reports from counting centres indicate Edgar Lungu of PF and Hakainde Hichilema of UPND leading the presidency voting race, few constituencies to go.
There is talk of a runoff between the 2 candidates if none of them get 50% plus votes!
This will set stage for a mouth watering election rerun between the top two winners in few weeks time.
We will have results here as they get confirmed via the Electoral Commission of Zambia(ECZ)
