AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Zambia Election Aftermath: Opposition leader Brian Mundubile says he will challenge President Hakainde Hichilema’s re-election in court, citing alleged fraud and irregularities around conduct, counting and results, as UN rights chief Volker Turk urges Zambia to stop arbitrary detentions and respect due process. Kabulonga Security Case: Police IG Graphael Musamba confirmed former Cabinet minister Mutotwe Kafwaya was killed in an exchange of gunfire during an operation at Mundubile’s Lusaka home, while authorities say investigations continue and 11 suspects remain in custody. Kwacha Outlook: The Economics Association of Zambia says the kwacha is likely to stay within K18–K20 per US dollar post-election, with stability during the polls and possible appreciation after results. Sports Governance: Government enacted the Sports Council of Zambia (Amendment) Act, 2026, reshaping the council’s executive board to include more ministries and sports associations for better transparency. Trade & Infrastructure Regionally: Tanzania’s Port of Mtwara expansion and the planned upgrade of Dar’s Mandela Road are set to improve cargo flows across southern Africa. Agriculture & Fertiliser Policy: A debate is growing over FISP 2026/27 guidelines making Mbeya organic fertiliser compulsory despite a reduced budget, with critics warning it could replace mineral fertiliser support. Public Order: Police in Kitwe arrested 14 taxi drivers after a clash at Savage Yard Bus Station, with suspects detained pending investigations.
