A young Hakainde Hichilema.

Hakainde Hichilema (born 1962), is a perennial presidential candidatehaving contested five times in 2006, 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2016. He is gunning for the seat again in 2022.

In the 2006 election, Hichilema was the candidate of the UDA and ran against incumbent president Levy Mwanawasa of MMD and PF's Michael Sata. He received the endorsement of former President Kenneth Kaunda. Hichilema took third place with about 25% of the vote.

Hakainde Hichilema again faced Lungu as the main opposition candidate in the August 2016 presidential election, and was again narrowly defeated.

Hakainde Hichilema ran as the UPND candidate in the 2008 election, which was called following the death of President Levy Mwanawasa. He came 3rd with 19.7% of the vote

In June 2009, Hichilema's party, the UPND, formed a pact with Michael Sata's PF to contest the 2011 election together. However, indecision on the pact candidate, deep mistrust and accusations of tribalism from both sides resulted in the collapse of the pact in March 2011.

In 2014, Hakainde Hichilema denied being a Freemason and labelled people accusing him as malicious. He sued Bishop Edward Chomba of the Orthodox Church for defamation after the former called him a Satanist and a Freemason

Hichilema was one of the two main candidates in the January 2015 presidential election, which he lost by a narrow margin of just 27,757 votes (1.66%) against the ruling party's Edgar Lungu. Hichilema denounced the election as a sham and urged his supporters to remain calm.

In April 2017, Hakainde Hichilema was arrested on suspicion of treason and charged with attempting to overthrow the government.He was in prison for 4 months before being given a Nolle prosequi.

The Hichilema's.
