Former Zambian President Lungu dies aged 68

Former Zambian President Edgar Lungu dies at 68 while receiving medical treatment in South Africa. Lungu served as president for six years from 2015, losing the 2021 election to President Hakainde Hichilema. Lungu's return to politics in 2023 came after the Constitutional Court barred him from running for a third term, citing legal term limits. His passing marks a significant moment for Zambia, invoking the spirit of "One Zambia, One Nation" that guided his leadership.
