Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema signed into law the much-talked-about Constitutional Amendment Bill (7) 2025. 

Interested parties expressed mixed feelings.

This means 13 clauses that were contained in the bill are now part of the Constitution.

The amendments include delimitation that will result in more constituencies being created, which will see an increase in the number of members of Parliament.

President Hakainde Hichilema called for peace and unity as he closed the debate around the bill.

Hichilema also dispelled allegations that he has secretly extended his term from five to seven.
