Hichilema Wins Landslide Re-Election in Zambia

Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has secured a second term in office after winning more than 60% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election. The decisive victory removes the need for a runoff vote. However, the election night was marred by unrest. Authorities launched raids against leading opposition figures as results were being counted. The government has not yet provided a public explanation for these actions.
