General elections were held in Zambia on 31 October 1991 to elect a President and National Assembly. They were the first multi-party elections since 1968, and only the second multi-party elections since independence in 1964. The United National Independence Party (UNIP), which had led the country since independence (from 1973 to 1990 as the sole legal party), was comprehensively beaten by the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD). Kenneth Kaunda, who had been president since independence, was defeated in a landslide by MMD challenger Frederick Chiluba in the presidential elections, whilst the MMD won 125 of the 150 elected seats in the expanded National Assembly. Voter turnout was 45%.

  • Am 31. Oktober 1991 wurden allgemeine Wahlen in Sambia abgehalten. Gewählt wurden der Staatspräsident und die Nationalversammlung, das Parlament Sambias. Die Präsidentschaftswahl wurde deutlich von Frederick Chiluba, dem Kandidaten des Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) gegenüber Amtsinhaber Kenneth Kaunda von der United National Independence Party (UNIP) gewonnen. Auch bei der Wahl zur Nationalversammlung gewann das MMD die große Mehrheit der Sitze. Die Wahl markierte eine politische Wende in Sambia und sowohl das Ende der 18-jährigen UNIP-Einparteienherrschaft als auch das Ende der 27-jährigen Präsidentschaft Kaundas. (de)
  • De algemene verkiezingen in Zambia van 1991 waren vervroegde verkiezingen als gevolg van de afschaffing van het eenpartijstelsel in het najaar van 1990 Naast de United National Independence Party (UNIP) die sinds 1964 ononderbroken onder leiding van president Kenneth Kaunda aan de macht was geweest verschenen verschillende kleinere partijen die echter als gevolg van het districtenstelsel geen kans hadden op een zetel in het parlement. De Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), waarin zich tal van oud-politici van de UNIP hadden verzameld en onder leiding kwam te staan van Frederick Chiluba werd gezien als de grote uitdager van de UNIP.

  • Las elecciones generales de Zambia de 1991 tuvieron lugar el 31 de octubre del mencionado año con el objetivo de renovar la presidencia de la República y los 150 escaños de la Asamblea Nacional, que ejercerían sus funciones por el período 1991-1996. Fueron las séptimas elecciones generales zambianas bajo sufragio universal, y los primeros comicios multipartidistas y libres desde 1968, luego de que un masivo movimiento político forzara al régimen unipartidista del Partido Unido de la Independencia Nacional (UNIP), liderado por Kenneth Kaunda, a abandonar el monopolio político. En el marco de la complicada situación política y económica del país, las elecciones fueron adelantadas considerablemente, pues estaban originalmente previstas para de 1993.​ (es)
  • Всеобщие выборы в Замбии проходили 31 октября 1991 года для избрания президента и депутатов Национальной ассамблеи. Это были первые многопартийные выборы с выборов 1968 года и только вторые многопартийные выборы с момента обретения Замбией независимости в 1964 году. Объединённая партия национальной независимости, возглавлявшая страну с момента обретения независимости (с 1973 по 1990 год как единственная легальная партия), была полностью разгромлена оппозиционным Движением за многопартийную демократию. Кеннет Каунда, который был президентом с момента обретения независимости, на президентских выборах потерпел сокрушительное поражение от Фредерика Чилубы, в то время как Движение за многопартийную демократию получило 125 из 150 избранных мест в Национальной ассамблее расширенного состава.
