Edgar Lungu vs Zeljko Komsic

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.

Komsic was elected as the Croat member of the Presidency in 2006, despite being elected primarily by Bosniak votes due to the electoral system. His election was controversial among Croats who saw him as not representing their interests.

Komsic was re-elected in 2010, serving until 2014. He focused on EU integration and anti-corruption measures, but his legitimacy as a Croat representative remained disputed by many ethnic Croats.

Komsic was elected for a third term in 2018, again with strong Bosniak support. This led to protests from Croat parties and further deepened ethnic divisions in Bosnia's political system.
