Resident Coordinator’s Annual Report 2015

2015 began and ended with election activity: the Presidential by-election in January saw a low turnout but was another peaceful democratic transition for Zambia. The Electoral Commission, with support from UNDP and partners, delivered a sound process which withstood challenges from the losing party over vote tallying. Politicians stayed in campaign mode through the year, and were well into election mode by December, looking ahead to the general elections in 2016.
