The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) declared Hichilema the winner on Tuesday after he secured 2,965,326 votes against Mundubile’s 1,856,217, giving him another five-year mandate after first taking office in 2021.
Hichilema's win was widely expected, with his closest challenger Brian Mundubile getting 38% of the votes.
Hichilema won 2,965,326 votes, far surpassing the constitutionally required 50% plus one threshold of the majority vote.
