Zambia Election Story


Zambia just voted in a new president, Rupiah Banda. This applies to the president and the people of Zambia. What happened was Zambia just voted in a president who promises to help fight poverty, to campaign against corruption, and to keep supporting the free market. This happened in Zambia on November 2, because the previous president died.

This is important because it affects so many people. It shows progression that the Zambians were able to vote for a president who vows to do many positive things. This only happened 11 days ago and it is of great interest to the people of that area. It is also rare for an election to occur.
