Hakainda Hichilema is the main contender with Edgar Lungu for the position vacated by the death of President Michael Sata last October.

Representing the opposition United Party for National Development Hakainde Hichilema says polling stations in remote parts of Zambia had not received voting material half way through the 12-hour polling day.

He maintains these rural areas are his stronghold in a closely contested race.

There are four candidates fighting for the last year-and-a-half of the late Michael Sata’s five-year term.

The winner will be either Lungu from the ruling Patriotic Front or Hichilema.

There have been no opinion polls to assist observers.

Voting has been brisk despite Zambia’s five million eligible voters being election weary.
