Zambian President Rupiah Banda yesterday set elections for September 20, hoping a humming economy will help him win his first full term in office against an opposition whose alliance has already cracked.
"I have been informed by the Electoral Commission of Zambia that the logistics for holding elections are now in place. The final voter register is also in place," he said in a live address on national radio.
Banda, 74, will seek his first full term at the polls, after he took power in a special election three years ago to complete the term of Levy Mwanawasa, who died while in office.
