Zambia’s President Rallies Students as Young Voters Could Decide Election

With just days until Thursday’s presidential vote, Zambia’s leader Hakainde Hichilema is working to win over the country’s youth. Nearly half of all registered voters are between 18 and 35 years old. That makes this group a powerful force that could tip the election. Hichilema’s campaign is now focusing on students and young workers. He is urging them to support his bid for another term. The outcome may hinge on whether they turn out to vote.
