Opposition UPND party's presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema casts his ballot in Lusaka, Zambia, on August 12, 2021.
The commission said it will update the results as votes from the constituencies are tabulated and expects to announce the final results by Monday. Hichilema’s United Party for National Development forecast that he would win, also based on the results from polling centers.Votes in Zambia are counted at polling centres and then posted for the public to see. The results from the polling stations are sent to the national election centre in the capital, Lusaka, where the final results are announced.
In contrast, the state-run Zambia Daily Mail ran with the headline “Lungu set for victory-PF,” citing an official of the ruling Patriotic Front party. Lungu won power in 2015 in a snap election after the previous president, Michael Sata, died in office. Lungu narrowly defeated Hichilema, whom he again beat with a small margin for a full term in 2016. Hichilema alleged fraud in both polls and has warned of rigging in these elections.
