Edgar Lungu vs Frank Forde

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.

Forde was appointed Minister for the Army in John Curtin's Labor government. He oversaw Australia's military operations during World War II, including the defense against Japanese advances in the Pacific.

Forde became Prime Minister on 6 July 1945 following the death of John Curtin. He served for only 8 days until Ben Chifley was elected as Labor leader and succeeded him.

After leaving politics, Forde was appointed as Australia's first High Commissioner to Canada. He served in this diplomatic role until 1953, representing Australian interests in North America.
