Zambia elections underway..results expected after counting

For the first time, a presidential candidate must win more than 50% of the vote to avoid a run-off.

As Zambians ago for Presidential and Parliamentary elections on 11 August  2016, there is a lot of expectation and tension following violence between ruling party and opposition supporters in the run up to today’s elections.

The main fight is between two candidates President Edgar Lungu(PF leader), who has been in office for just a year and a half, and businessman Hakainde Hichilema of the opposition United Party for National Development.

Mr Lungu took office in January 2015 after the death of President Michael Sata.
