Kaunda re-elected Zambia president

1988 - Zambian voters have granted their founding father, President Kenneth Kaunda, a fresh five-year term in office, according to official polling results. Kaunda has captured more than 93 per cent of the ballots in the polls. At least six Cabinet ministers were rejected. But Kaunda himself, a former mission teacher, remains untarnished. Most Zambians believe he has done well in freeing their country from the kind of civil strife that has plagued other African nations.
