Zambia presidential voting counting begins
Zambia has begun counting its votes after the closure of polling stations in a crucial presidential election, involving around 8 million voters out of a population of 22 million. The election is under strong international scrutiny. The current president, Hakainde Hichilema, is seeking a second term, competing against 13 candidates, including Bryan Mungobili, who is considered his main rival. The election is viewed as a referendum on his economic performance following the debt crisis and economic restructuring. It is a major opportunity to promote economic stability and stabilize the mining industry, particularly copper, for which Zambia is one of the largest producers in the world. Results are expected to be announced next Monday, amid challenges related to voter outreach and the management of polling stations. The election is attracting careful international attention.
