This article from the BBC shares how young voters may have a substantial impact on the presidential and parliamentary elections occurring in Zambia. Consider this excerpt below:

"More than half of the eight million registered voters are under the age of 35. In the past, along with urban dwellers, they have been the bedrock of PF support. But amid the economic turmoil, Mr Lungu and his party can no longer take their votes for granted. "I am not voting for anyone in this election - I am voting for my job. I can't go four years without a job," says Silvia Mutila, a 25-year-old unemployed nurse who graduated in 2017. "
