- The electoral commission declared 64-year-old Hakainde Hichilema the winner with 60% of the vote; Brian Mundubile received 38%, while 12 other candidates trailed far behind.
- After the result was announced, Hichilema said he would also work for citizens who had supported his opponents’ ideas.
- Mundubile had earlier claimed victory and alleged voting irregularities without providing evidence; it remains unclear whether the opposition will challenge the result.
- The day after polling, the electoral commission briefly suspended the count over reports of violence targeting polling staff and theft of marked ballot papers in some areas, lifting the measure the same day.
