Edgar Lungu vs Hon Sui Sen

Edgar Lungu won the presidential by-election following the death of President Michael Sata. He defeated Hakainde Hichilema in a close race, becoming the 6th President of Zambia.

Lungu won a full five-year term in the general election, again defeating Hakainde Hichilema. The election was marked by opposition allegations of irregularities and a disputed constitutional court ruling.

Lungu's government arrested opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema on charges of treason after his convoy failed to give way to the presidential motorcade. Hichilema was held for several months before the charges were dropped.

Lungu was defeated by Hakainde Hichilema in the general election, receiving 38.3% of the vote against Hichilema's 59%. He conceded defeat, marking the first peaceful transfer of power to an opposition candidate in Zambia since 1991.

Hon Sui Sen played a key role in founding the Development Bank of Singapore to provide long-term industrial financing. The bank became a major financial institution supporting Singapore's industrialization drive.
