On Wednesday, 26 July, thirteen citizens (actually twelve Zambian citizens and a researcher from the London School of Economics) made their way to BongoHive to talk about social media and politics. Zambia is just days away from going to the polls. How has social media made an impact on this election in comparison to times past?

Hope you are able to make it to our next meetup.
Keep blogging!
