Dr. Miti added that he recovered immediately after the incident.

Mr. Lungu had a similar health incident in 2015, which the president said was because of an “oesophagus condition”.

President Lungu is seeking re-election in the 12 August polls.

Kaunda is now requesting all Zambia and the world at large to pray for him as the doctors are doing their best to save his life.
