Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema was sworn in for a second term Tuesday with the main opposition leader — who was the runner-up in last month’s elections — in jail on treason charges.
The August 13 ballot was marred by allegations of intimidation, pro-government bias and restrictions on the opposition, tarnishing the copper-rich country’s democratic reputation.
Thousands of cheering supporters wearing the red colours of Hichilema’s UPND party packed
