| Zambia's President Mwanawasa "stable but heavily sedated" |
|
Speculation that Mwanawasa, 59, may be unable to return to work has prompted demands that doctors examine him and decide whether he is fit to remain president. If parliament decides he is incapacitated Mwanawasa, who suffered a mild stroke in 2006, could be forced to step down. Vice President Rupiah Banda would take over as acting president and elections would be called. "Let us all clearly remember that by the serious nature of our president's illness, the healing process will indeed be long. Presently, he is in a stable but heavily sedated condition," Chituwo said. Mwanawasa is a favourite of the International Monetary Fund and other Western donors, who extended billions of dollars in debt relief after he cracked down on government spending and launched an anti-graft drive. |
