AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Zambia Election Watch: Zambia goes to the polls on Thursday as voters weigh President Hakainde Hichilema’s economic recovery record against the still-high cost of living, with analysts pointing to copper output plans and debt restructuring as key campaign themes. Political Tensions: Opposition candidate Brian Mundubile alleges state-linked abductions and missing security personnel ahead of voting, while other reports highlight fears of violence and intimidation across campaign hotspots. Road Infrastructure Deal: The Road Development Agency has signed a K177.6m contract to expand the Shimabala toll plaza, aiming to cut congestion and improve traffic flow that affects business activity. Copper & Mining Updates: Prospect Resources says drilling at Nyungu Central in Zambia is extending a new mineralised zone, while Jubilee Metals received two binding offers for its Large Waste Project—moves that could reshape investment priorities in the sector. Public Health Cooperation: Zambia’s health ministry calls for stronger cross-border cooperation to prevent infectious disease outbreaks, warning that diseases spread with people across borders. Youth Sentiment: An African Youth Survey reports 55% of young Zambians feel the country is heading in the right direction, signalling cautious optimism despite economic pressure.
