Zambians are going to the polls on the 11th of next month to elect the President and participate in general elections. The vote is expected to be a close contest between Edgar Lungu from the governing Patriotic Front, and Hakainde Hichilema from the United Party for National Development. However, violence, which is foreign in Zambian politics, has been a spoiler. To help us unpack these elections, we are now joined on the line by:
Electoral Commission of Zambia: Chris Akufuna:
Rev. Suzanne Matale: General Secretary: The Council of Churches in Zambia
Gary van Staden: Senior Political Analyst at NKC
