In this video courtesy of Diamond TV, President Edgar Lungu says he is only going upto 2021 as Head of State.
The President said this on Thursday when he addressed the members of the Zambia Association of manufactures during the “Meet the President Dialogue” at Radisson Blu Hotel.
“The economy knows no politics, whoever will be President will have to carry on with engaging you because you are not politicians, you are economic players and you will always be there. Government just makes it conducive for you to succeed,” said President Lungu.
“Together, we can achieve industrialisation with unity of purpose. We can transform Zambia into an industrialisation hub. So let us all rise to the occasion and ensure that industrialisation becomes a reality in our lifetime, or in my term of office. and by the way I am only going up to 2021.”

I don’t think that’s a serious statement. its more like a push back against the condemnation he has got over the Solwezi comment. I am sure Amos will be clarifying soon.
Phew!!!!
There are no two ways about it: The man is ineligible (PERIOD!)
The constitutional clause in the current constitution is neither retroactive, nor does it suggest anything to that effect.
Zambians must get this, Lungu elected under the old constitution. The only term that applies to the current constitution is the one he commenced last year.
