Abstract
This article examines the progress of politics in Zambia following the demise of the single‐party state in 1991 and the adoption of new constitutions to uphold human rights and democratic government. While President Frederick Chiluba and his MMD party have introduced much‐needed political and constitutional reforms, at the same time authoritarian attitudes and misuse of power may still be detected among the government. Issues of continuing concern include the compilation of electoral registers and the treatment of opposition parties and other groups within civil society critical of government. The re‐introduction of multiparty politics has not automatically resulted in democratic governance.
