Zambia
Zambia is a landlocked south African nation of 16 million people. It gained its independence from Great Britain in 1964 and Prime Minister Kenneth Kaunda was elected as president. Kaunda led for nearly three decades under a one-party system until 1991, when he stepped aside and the country launched into an era of genuine multiparty democracy.
In 2011, Zambia became one of the first African countries to see its ruling party lose to the opposition in the general elections after Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front Party defeated incumbent President Rupiah Banda. In 2010, the World Bank named Zambia as one of the world’s fastest economically reformed countries.
