 Amnesty International says Zambia is on the brink of a human rights crisis alleging that President Edgar Lungu is using repressive tactics to win another term in elections sets for August 12. Zambia has established a good track record of holding scheduled elections since the reintroduction of a multi-party democracy in 1991 by founding president, the late Kenneth Counder, who had presided over a one-party system for over two decades. Counder accepted defeat after 27 years in power and retired. When Counder died at age 97 earlier this month, he was widely hailed as a statesman and a revered fatherly figure.
