Frederick Jacob Titus Chiluba (April 30, 1943 -- June 18, 2011) was a Zambian politician who was the second President of Zambia
from 1991 to 2002. Chiluba, a trade union leader, won the country's multi-party presidential election in 1991 as the candidate
of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), defeating long-time President Kenneth Kaunda. He was re-elected in 1996. As he
was unable to run for a third term in 2001, former Vice President Levy Mwanawasa instead ran as the MMD candidate and succeeded
him. After leaving office, Chiluba was the subject of a long investigation and trial regarding alleged corruption;
he was eventually acquitted in 2009.
Chiluba died on June 18, 2011,[36] shortly after midnight. His spokesman, Emmanuel Mwamba, announced his death. Mwamba stated that
Chiluba had a normal day on June 17, and even had time to meet some of his lawyers. He later complained of stomach ache.
