Economic Hardship at the Centre of Zambia Presidential Elections

Zambia is heading to the polls in a closely watched presidential election where economic hardship, the cost of living, poverty and jobs are among the biggest concerns for voters. President Hakainde Hichilema is seeking a second term, with the election widely viewed as a referendum on his economic reforms.

Hichilema’s government points to economic stabilisation, debt restructuring, investment and projected growth as key achievements. However, many Zambians say the improvements have not translated into better everyday living conditions, with poverty and high living costs remaining major concerns.

The main opposition challenger, Brian Mundubile, has campaigned on lowering the cost of living and ensuring that more of Zambia’s mineral wealth benefits ordinary citizens. The country’s vast copper resources also make the election significant for investors and the wider global economy
