General elections were held in Zambia on 18 November 1996 to elect a President and National Assembly. They were boycotted by the main opposition party, the United National Independence Party, together with five other allied parties, following changes to the constitution which they failed to have reversed following a court challenge. The changes imposed a two-term limit on the presidency, required presidential candidates to be born to two Zambian citizens by birth or descent, and required National Assembly candidates to give up their chieftaincy. UNIP believed these changes were specifically aimed at their longtime leader, Kenneth Kaunda, whose parents were Malawian and had previously served as the country's first president from 1964 to 1991. The changes would have also excluded UNIP's vice

  • Всеобщие выборы в Замбии проходили 18 ноября 1996 года для избрания президента и депутатов Национальной ассамблеи.

ОПНН полагала, что эти изменения были специально нацелены на их давнего лидера Кеннета Каунда, родители которого были малавийцами и ранее Каунда занимал пост президента в течение 6 сроков с 1 (ru)
