  • Post-Populism in Zambia: Michael Sata's Rise
    This is the accepted version of the article which is published by Sage in International Political Science Review, Volume: 38 issue: 4, page(s): 456-472 available at: https://doi.org/10.1177/0192512117720809 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24592/ Post-populism in Zambia: Michael Sata’s rise, demise and legacy Alastair Fraser SOAS University of London, UK Abstract Models explaining populism as a policy response to the interests of the urban poor struggle to understand the instability of populist mobilisations. A focus on political theatre is more helpful. This article extends the debate on populist performance, showing how populists typically do not produce rehearsed performances to passive audiences. In drawing ‘the people’ on stage they are forced to improvise. As a result, populist performances are rarely sustained. The article describes the Zambian Patriotic Front’s (PF) theatrical insurrection in 2006 and its evolution over the next decade. The PF’s populist aspect had faded by 2008 and gradually disappeared in parallel with its leader Michael Sata’s ill-health and eventual death in 2014. The party was nonetheless electorally successful. The article accounts for this evolution and describes a ‘post-populist’ legacy featuring hyper- partisanship, violence and authoritarianism. Intolerance was justified in the populist moment as a reflection of anger at inequality; it now floats free of any programme. Keywords Elections, populism, political theatre, Laclau, Zambia, Sata, Patriotic Front Introduction This article both contributes to the thin theoretic literature on ‘post-populism’ and develops an illustrative case. It discusses the explosive arrival of the Patriotic Front (PF) on the Zambian electoral scene in 2006 and the party’s subsequent evolution.

  • Intra-Party Democracy in the Zambian Polity1
    John Bwalya, Owen B. Sichone: REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY … REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY DEMOCRACY IN THE ZAMBIAN POLITY1 John Bwalya Owen B. Sichone Abstract: Despite the important role that intra-party democracy plays in democratic consolidation, particularly in third-wave democracies, it has not received as much attention as inter-party democracy. Based on the Zambian polity, this article uses the concept of selectocracy to explain why, to a large extent, intra-party democracy has remained a refractory frontier. Two traits of intra-party democracy are examined: leadership transitions at party president-level and the selection of political party members for key leadership positions. The present study of four political parties: United National Independence Party (UNIP), Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), United Party for National Development (UPND) and Patriotic Front (PF) demonstrates that the iron law of oligarchy predominates leadership transitions and selection. Within this milieu, intertwined but fluid factors, inimical to democratic consolidation but underpinning selectocracy, are explained. Keywords: Intra-party Democracy, Leadership Transition, Ethnicity, Selectocracy, Third Wave Democracies Introduction Although there is a general consensus that political parties are essential to liberal democracy (Teorell 1999; Matlosa 2007; Randall 2007; Omotola 2010; Ennser-Jedenastik and Müller 2015), they often failed to live up to the expected democratic values such as sustaining intra-party democracy (Rakner and Svasånd 2013). As a result, some scholars have noted that parties may therefore not necessarily be good for democratic consolidation because they promote private economic interests, which are inimical to democracy and state building (Aaron 1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the comments from the editorial staff and anonymous reviewers.

  • Theatre of the Absurd the Last Few Weeks Have Been Emblematic of the Farce That Passes for Economic Stewardship in Zambia
    Rhombus Advisors LLCLLCLLC Omotunde A.J. Mahoney +1-862 444 0746 March 7, 2019 ZAMBIA RESEARCH NOTE Theatre of the absurd The last few weeks have been emblematic of the farce that passes for economic stewardship in Zambia. 1) In late February, the BoZ Governor had pointedly warned that “prompt and effective implementation of fiscal adjustment measures remains critical”1. As if to underscore the growing budget squeeze, it emerged a week later that most civil servants2 were yet to receive their salaries, which are typically disbursed between the 18th and 20th of each month. 2) Yet it was also on March 1st that Zambia took delivery of a new jet for President Lungu – a Gulfstream 650 with a reported price tag of USD 70 million3. It is unclear how this extravagance is to be paid for, especially with scheduled payments on the Republic’s foreign debt amounting to more than 90% of gross international reserves4. 3) That same week we learned that there is an acute shortage of maize in Southern province5 where traders report that farmers, who have historically been suppliers of grain, have now become active buyers6. The situation is so serious that the Food Reserve Agency has been forced to start distributing product from the strategic grain reserve7. 4) Undeterred by logic, the Agriculture ministry has since chosen to lift the prohibition on exporting the cereal from which Zambia’s mealie-meal staple is derived. On the basis of past form, it can be reasonably assumed that the rationale for the new dispensation is to permit traders affiliated with the ruling party to arbitrage the commodity’s steep, cross-border price-differential8.

  • Freedom House
    Zambia: Freedom in the World 2021 Country Report | Freedom House https://freedomhouse.org/country/zambia/freedom-world/2021 Zambia’s political system features regular multiparty elections, and some civil liberties are respected. However, opposition parties face onerous legal and practical obstacles to fair competition, and the government regularly invokes restrictive laws to curb freedom of expression and ban peaceful demonstrations and meetings. Political violence remains a problem. In April, the country’s media regulator forced the closure of a popular private television station that had a history of tensions with the government. The move came after the station’s owner said it would not air government advertisements related to the COVID-19 pandemic for free, citing unpaid debts for previous state advertisements. An audit report released in November found that some 1.3 billion kwacha ($70 million) in public funds pertaining to COVID-19 had been mismanaged between February and July, including through dubious procurement contracts. Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya had been acquitted in August of unrelated corruption charges. Chishimba Kambwili, leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, was sentenced in October to a year in prison on forgery charges and released on bail pending an appeal. Opposition members criticized the case as a politically motivated attempt to eliminate Kambwili from the 2021 presidential race. Also in October, the parliament rejected constitutional amendments introduced by the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) that would have increased the power of the presidency and allowed major changes to the electoral system.
