The European Union announces an Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) in Zambia
Following an invitation by Zambian authorities, the European Union will deploy an Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) for Zambia’s General Elections scheduled for 13 August 2026.
EU High Representative Kaja Kallas has appointed Irish Member of the European Parliament Michael McNamara as Chief Observer to lead the mission, which will assess the electoral process independently and impartially across the country. The mission will engage with electoral institutions, political parties, candidates, civil society, and other stakeholders as part of its comprehensive assessment of the electoral process.
A team of EU election experts and observers will be deployed nationwide ahead of the polls, with preliminary findings to be presented shortly after election day and a final report to be issued upon completion of the electoral process.
