Zambia: Michael Sata wins presidential election

Opposition leader Michael Sata has won Zambia's presidential election after two days of vote counting following a tight race with incumbent Rupiah Banda.

Mr Sata was declared winner by Chief Justice Ernest Sakala after polling 43% of the vote with just seven constituencies left to be counted.

Mr Banda's Movement for Multiparty Democracy had ruled Zambia for 20 years.
