Zambia's Hichilema wins second term

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema was re-elected to a second five-year term, securing about 60% of the vote.

The opposition leader made a stronger-than-expected showing, capitalizing on public frustration over economic conditions.

Hichilema pledged to work for all Zambians and focus on economic recovery, while the opposition alleged irregularities.

International observers called for transparency, and the election was marked by some violence.
