PoliticsZambia's election marred by irregularities and 'militia' arrests

Zambia's government says police arrested 11 people, including six opposition figures, in a raid targeting alleged militia activity, accusing them of possessing weapons and ammunition for an armed insurrection. The opposition rejects the claims and says armed personnel raided candidate Brian Mundubile's home. A pause in vote counting over violence and alleged ballot theft has fueled wider concerns about intimidation and electoral interference.
