AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Zambia Election Tensions: With polls on Thursday, opposition candidate Brian Mundubile alleges intimidation and illegal arrests, saying his security detail is missing and that state actors are targeting opposition figures ahead of voting. Election Stakes & Economy: Analysts say the contest is being driven by cost of living, jobs and governance, with youth expected to be decisive as many feel economic gains have not reached daily life. Campaign Signals: President Hakainde Hichilema’s final push focuses on densely populated Lusaka areas, while endorsements and counter-narratives continue to shape voter perceptions. Public Holiday: Government has declared Thursday, August 13, a public holiday to allow voting, with Friday remaining a normal working day. Mining & Industry: Limeco’s quicklime project is advancing with the hot commissioning of Kiln 3, aiming to move into profitable production; Jubilee Metals also received two offers for its large waste project, planning to redeploy capital into copper operations. Energy Access Question: A new look at Zambia’s power recovery argues the key issue is not just generation numbers, but who is getting reliable electricity and at what cost. Education Support: Hichilema says student loans, bursaries and meal allowances will be expanded, including internships to help graduates secure jobs.
