Hakainde Hichilema of the UPND is projected to win Zambia’s 2021 presidential election defeating Edgar Lungu of the ruling PF according to a projection by Povo News.
Zambia’s general election was held on 12 August 2021 to elect the President and National Assembly, as of 15 August 2021 (17:00) the Electoral Commission of Zambia had announced election results from 107 out of the 156 constituencies (69%).
According to the Povo News live tracker of Zambia’s 2021 presidential election results Hichilime is leading with 1,847,870 votes while the ruling party candidate, Edgar Lungu has 1,079,713 votes a lead of over 700 000 votes.
