Edgar Chagwa Lungu, the sixth president of Zambia, died on 5 June 2025 in Pretoria, South Africa, at the age of 68, while undergoing treatment for cardiac complications related to an undisclosed illness. A seven-day period of national mourning was declared by the Zambian government, later extended by nine more days, was cut short to 12 days due to a standoff with his family. Following initial disagreements between his family and the Patriotic Front over state protocols, a compromise was reached. Lungu's body was scheduled for repatriation to Lusaka on 18 June 2025, with a state funeral planned for 22 June and burial on 23 June at Embassy Park, the official burial ground for Zambian presidents.
