notes: On December 7th, the constitutional court of Zambia ruled that President Edgar Lungu was permitted to stand for re-election in 2021. Opposition groups had argued that he should not, as he had served two terms (having taken office following the death of his predecessor). The court ruled to the contrary, stating that a President needed to have served three out of five years in order to be considered as serving a full term.
