In Zambia, eight opposition political parties have agreed to form an alliance to challenge President Hakainde Hichilema in the next election. The eight include the former ruling Patriotic Front. Meanwhile, the French News Agency (AFP) earlier this week said former President Edgar Lungu called on Zambians to demand an early election because President Hichilema has mismanaged the economy. Information Minister Cornelius Mweetwa, tells VOA’s James Butty, the government has also been educating the public about how to prevent the spread of cholera.
