Zambia’s Edgar Lungu seeks re-election

Lusaka,
Zambian President Edgar Lungu filed his nomination Monday seeking re-election after a court petition to block him failed.
His critics still argued he was not eligible to contest the election as that would amount to a “third term.”
The country’s Constitutional Court earlier ruled that he was eligible to run for president again.
Critics had argued that he became head of state following the death of President Michael Sata in the middle of his term in office.
President Sata died in 2014 after three years in power, which necessitated an election in which Lungu was voted in in 2015.
Zambia s President Edgar Lungu has picked a microbiologist over his vice-president as running mate in his re-election bid.
Elections are scheduled for 12 August.
President Lungu said his choice of Nkandu Luo as running mate followed reflection and prayerful thought . I have no doubt that we are going to make a great team that will not only give our party the electoral victory, but, ultimately, the progress we desire for our great nation, he said in a Facebook post.
Inonge Wina has been Zambia s vice-president since 2015 and is the first woman in the country to hold the position.
The president will face 18 other challengers including his main opponent Hakainde Hichilema who has unsuccessfully contested the presidential elections five times.
