Zambia resumes vote counting after security concerns halt electoral process

If no presidential candidate gets more than 50% of the vote a run-off must be held within 37 days."I voted for HH because he cares about us," James Phiri, a 29-year-old student at the University of Zambia, told the Reuters news agency, using a common nickname for the president.

Zambia's electoral commission has resumed the counting of votes from Thursday's presidential, parliamentary and local elections after it was halted over alleged attacks on polling staff.
