CAJ Intl Mag #Peace and Reconciliation

In the wake of Zambia’s 2026 general elections, the Tonse Alliance has broken ranks with sections of the opposition calling for a legal challenge to the presidential results. Alliance Secretary General Dr Chris Zumani Zimba says petitioning the outcome would be “a big mistake” that risks deepening national divisions, and is instead urging leaders to choose dialogue, healing, and reconciliation. His stance comes as official results confirm President Hakainde Hichilema’s second term with a margin of over 1.1 million votes, setting the stage for a tense post-election period focused on peace rather than court battles
