Zambia President Lungu Assures Citizens After Collapse

Zambia’s President Edgar Lungu has assured citizens that he is well after collapsing while attending a public event.
He was presiding over the national defence day on Sunday when “he experienced sudden dizziness” in Lusaka’s capital.
Secretary to the Cabinet Simon Miti issued a statement saying that the president “is well and has continued to discharge his duties”.
Dr Miti said President Lungu recovered immediately after the incident.
The president had a similar health incident in 2015, which the presidency said was because of an “oesophagus condition”.
President Lungu is seeking re-election in the 12 August polls.
Meanwhile, Zambia is commemorating its 45th defence force day with a display of assorted land military hardware and a fly passed over the Freedom Statue area along Independence Avenue in Lusaka.
President Edgar Lungu has urged the defence force to remain politically neutral and to stay loyal to the constitution and the people of Zambia.
