So that's democracy?
Article Abstract:
The election held on Nov 18, 1996, in Zambia has attracted considerable controversy. Former President Kenneth Kaunda was banned from standing, and this prompted his United National Independence Party, among others, to boycott the election. There was a low turnout, with President Frederick Chiluba being re-elected with 70% of the vote. The government of Zambia has also attracted controversy because of allegations about involvement in drugs.
