Zambia’s Edgar Lungu seeks re-election

Lusaka,
Zambian President Edgar Lungu filed his nomination Monday seeking re-election after a court petition to block him failed.
His critics still argued he was not eligible to contest the election as that would amount to a “third term.”
The country’s Constitutional Court earlier ruled that he was eligible to run for president again.
Critics had argued that he became head of state following the death of President Michael Sata in the middle of his term in office.
President Sata died in 2014 after three years in power, which necessitated an election in which Lungu was voted in in 2015.
