President Kenneth Kaunda on Tuesday called for peace as he cast his ballot in elections marred by rioting.
“This is an extremely important occasion when Zambia is organising itself in a decent way. That decency must be exhibited in the way we behave,” Kaunda told journalists
“We must continue with the peace and democracy,” the 87-year-old said.
Kaunda ruled Zambia from independence in 1964 to 1991, when he lost to the late Frederick Chiluba in the first multiparty elections.
