Zambian opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema has been charged with treason, police said Wednesday, after he allegedly refused to give way to President Edgar Lungu's motorcade on a main road.
"We have charged Hichilema and five others with treason," Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja told reporters in Lusaka.
Hichilema has said he does not recognise Lungu as president and has refused to accept the result of last year's presidential election.
