The Zambian government has formally rejected a resolution adopted by the European Parliament regarding the country’s post-election situation. The resolution, which was passed on September 17, 2026, under an urgency procedure, has been characterized by Zambian officials as premature and lacking sufficient information.
Mulambo Haimbe, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, issued a statement from New York addressing the development. According to the government, the European Parliament moved to adopt the resolution without engaging in prior consultation or dialogue with Zambian authorities.
