Abstract:This article examines the outcomes of the 1991 and 1996 elections in Zambia within the context of historical political sectionalism and regionalism, especially in the eastern area of the country. A political cleavage between core and periphery, and in particular the Eastern Province periphery, was evident in Zambia in the 1991 and 1996 elections. This is popularly explained in terms of the favouritism shown by Kaunda during his presidential term to the Chinyanja and Tumbuka electorate of the Eastern Province because of his personal and matrimonial links with the region.
