Fellow citizens,
Our country, Zambia, is a peaceful and united nation. And we must continue to guard this peace and stability.
Elections anywhere take time, and so do the results. This is the nature of a thorough, credible, and methodical process
In moments like these, the role of leaders is to urge calm, as we wait with patience together, as one nation.
Therefore, we call on all citizens to maintain peace and follow the rule of law as we wait for the outcome.
As we said this morning, our current trajectory is extremely good and assuring but we must all wait, with no exceptions.
May God continue to bless our beloved nation.
Hakainde Hichilema
President of the Republic of Zambia
