elections were held in Zambia on 11 August 2016 to elect the President and National Assembly.[2][3] A constitutional referendum was held alongside the elections, with proposals to amend the bill of rights and Article 79.[4]

President Edgar Lungu, previously elected in January 2015 to finish the term of Michael Sata, who died in office, was re-elected to a full five-year term when he scored above the 50% + 1 mark of the vote, defeating opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema. Lungu's Patriotic Front also won a majority in the National Assembly for the first time, winning 80 of the 156 elected seats.[5] Lungu was inaugurated on 13 September 2016 at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka despite opposition.
