AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Election Watch: Zambia’s media freedom is under fresh scrutiny as presidential nominations open today, with opposition and rights groups warning that unequal access to state media and financial pressure on outlets could skew coverage during a highly contested campaign. ECZ Process: The Electoral Commission says nominations run for five days at Mulungushi International Conference Centre, with accreditation for parties, observers and media already underway. Opposition Claims: ECZ has moved to calm rumours that Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu could be blocked from the ballot, insisting both are fully accommodated in the nomination schedule. Policy & Payments: Bank of Zambia says cheques will end in June 2026 (final deposit day June 24) as it pushes digital payments, while the Monetary Policy Rate is cut to 13.25%. Debt Deal: Zambia and Israel sign an amendment to restructure about US$460m of debt to 2043, aiming to ease debt-service pressure and restore fiscal space. Business: NMBZ reports Q1 income up 59% after consolidating EFC Zambia, while ZHL’s insurance revenue rises 28% on regional expansion.
