    "prose": "According to official results, Hakainde Hichilema won 60% of the vote in Zambia's 13 August presidential election. [^1]\n\nHakainde Hichilema is due to be sworn in for a second five-year term on Tuesday. [^2]\n\nBrian Mundubile was unable to file a legal challenge because courts were sealed on the final day a case could be filed. [^3]\n\nZambian authorities accused the opposition of planning an armed insurrection, and the opposition denied the accusation. [^4]\n\nBrian Mundubile, the runner-up in the election, was arrested and charged with treason on Thursday after spending two weeks seeking refuge with an international human rights organisation. [^5]\n\nHichilema secured 60 percent of the vote in the election, while his main rival, Brian Mundubile, secured 38 percent of the ballots cast. [^6]\n\nThe authorities abruptly closed the country's courts last week, a move criticized by US-based Human Rights Watch for preventing the opposition from filing legal challenges against the vote.
