President Lungu

President Edgar Lungu has told France24 that he will win the August elections.

Speaking on a programme called Eye on Africa which was also beamed on Radio France International, President Lungu said he was confident of scooping the poll.

President explained that his Patriotic Front (PF) has been consistent on policies and managed to uplift the welfare of Zambians as promised in 2011.

He said the PF has delivered development to all parts of the country and is now wrapping up the development agenda.

Lungu who concluded his visit to France on Tuesday faces a crucial election in August.

He came to office in January 2015 after beating his closest rival Hakainde Hichilema with just about 27,000 votes. Hichilema will be Lungu’s main challenger.
