ZAMBIA TOPS THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL VOTE

✅️Zambia led the field in today’s UN Human Rights Council elections, taking 177 votes in the General Assembly — the highest of all 15 countries elected.

✅️With 193 member states voting, securing 177 votes means President Hakainde Hichilema and his team drew support well beyond its African bloc — from Western, Asian and Latin American capitals alike. That cross-regional backing marks Zambia as a credible, non-polarising voice on rights issues.

✅️It also strengthens Lusaka’s diplomatic hand. A seat on the 47-member council puts Zambia at the table on resolutions and country reviews, with standing to shape debates on debt and economic rights, civic space, and Africa’s representation in global institutions.
