An ailing 77 year old Zambian President dies in a London hospital, his chosen acting President is stripped off power in a hasty over night 'coup'. An election campaign is hastily put in place in pace 90 days ahead and Edgar Lungu wins a very close election after campaigning for only 20 days as intra party clashes for power escalate against him. Against all odds, a power inner click, business interest and a divisive anti Lungu white vice President Guy Scott, Edgar Lungu now 60 becomes the unwilling but popularly elected sixth President of Zambia. He goes ahead to repeat the feat 20 months later.
