==Violence and incidents===
* On 9 July 2016, the [[Electoral Commission of Zambia]] (ECZ) suspended suspended campaigns in [[Lusaka]] and [[Namwala]] districts for 10 days due to the rise in political violence in some districts which resulted in injury, loss of life and property. During the suspension, there was no public rallies, meetings, processions or door to door campaigns. All branded campaign motor vehicles in Lusaka and Namwala Districts were parked and were not allowed to be used for any purpose. The suspension was lifted on 18 July 2016.<ref name=LTviolence>[https://www.lusakatimes.com/2016/07/09/suspension-campaigns-lusaka-namwala-districts/ ECZ suspends campaigns in Lusaka and Namwala districts] [[LusakaTimes]], 9 July 2016</ref>
