Two people have been killed in separate incidents that police have classified as politically motivated murders.

The violence has prompted warnings from both the police and President Hakainde Hichilema, who have called for calm and urged political parties to campaign peacefully.

With August 13, poll campaigns heating up, violence is equally taking centre stage across the country.

On June 29, 2026, two people were killed in different parts of Zambia in what police have confirmed to be electoral violence murder cases.
