The Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ), the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) and the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) have released a Joint Pastoral Statement under the theme:

“Loving Our Neighbour – Even in Cyberspace”

As Zambia reflects on the 2026 General Elections, the three Church Mother Bodies call upon the Church and all citizens to promote peace, responsibility, respect, unity and the responsible use of social media.

Let us continue to build a peaceful, united and prosperous Zambia — in our homes, communities, churches, physical spaces and across all digital platforms.

CCMG INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT OF THE ACCURACY OF THE OFFICIAL RESULTS FOR THE 2026 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

20 August 2026.

For Immediate Release

The Christian Churches Monitoring Group (CCMG) employed the Process and Results Verification for Transparency (PRVT) methodology and deployed 1,500 stationary observers to a nationally representative sample of polling stations in every province, district and constituency on Election Day.

Based on polling station results from 1,491 of 1,500 (99.4%) sampled polling stations, the PRVT estimates:

- 🗳 Voter turnout at 53.5% +/- 0.6%, a significant decrease from 70.6% in 2021.
- 🗳 President Hakainde Hichilema (UPND) at 56.0% +/- 1.7%.
- 🗳 Brian Mundubile (NRPUP) at 42.3% +/- 1.7%.
- 🗳 All other candidates at at most 0.5% each.
- 🗳 Rejected ballots at 2.8% +/- 0.1%.

The PRVT estimates clearly show that President Hichilema received the most presidential votes and more than the 50% threshold.

However, the official results for turnout, President Hichilema and Mundubile do not fall within the PRVT estimated range. This is because in 30 constituencies identified by the PRVT as problematic, the official turnout is well outside the upper limit of the PRVT estimate due to increased votes for UPND.

For the 30 problematic constituencies, the average change in turnout from 2021 was +6%, while for the remaining 196 constituencies it was -15%.

Importantly, the variances identified do not alter the overall outcome of the presidential election, but they merit further review, particularly given the implications for the allocation of proportional representation seats.

CCMG calls on the ECZ to immediately make public all 226 “Record of Proceeding at the Totalling of Votes” for the presidential and constituency-based parliamentary elections, and to publish images of the GEN20 forms for all 13,529 polling stations.

The ECZ, in consultation with political parties and civil society organisations, should determine an appropriate and expeditious way forward to ensure that official results reflect the actual ballots cast by voters on Election Day.

CCMG calls on all political parties and candidates to remain calm, conduct themselves peacefully and seek redress through legal processes.

These have been extremely challenging elections. Transparent, inclusive and technically sound electoral and regulatory reforms will be required to improve Zambia’s electoral processes.

CCMG calls for all Zambians to remain calm and peaceful.

God Bless Zambia!

As a fellowship, we stand united in prayer, asking that the Almighty God grant divine comfort, peace, and consolation to the family and the Church during this period of immense grief.

"We continue calling for Peace across the country and encourage you all to await verified results from Electoral Commission of Zambia . Kindly use SOCIAL MEDIA responsibly." Rev Allan Kasungami

CHURCH URGES HH AND MUNDUBILE TO PREACH PEACE AND UNITY

The Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) has urged frontrunners in the 2026 General Elections, President Hakainde Hichilema and Brian Mundubile, to preach messages of peace and unity as the country awaits the announcement of election results.

EFZ Executive Director, Allan Kasungami, says the frontrunners have a significant following and are leading figures among the electorate, making their messages of unity critical to ensuring that peace continues to prevail in the country.

Speaking in an interview with Radio Christian Voice this morning, Rev. Kasungami warned that statements expressing unease have the potential to cause commotion among supporters of the frontrunners.

“There is a need for the frontrunners to urge their supporters to desist from violence and remain calm as election results are being announced,” said Rev. Kasungami.

Meanwhile, Rev. Kasungami urged Zambians in the diaspora to desist from making inflammatory statements that could heighten tensions in the country.

He said it was irresponsible for Zambians living abroad to issue statements that could encourage people to engage in violence.

And Rev. Kasungami also urged Zambians to use social media responsibly by promoting messages of peace, unity and tolerance during the waiting period.
