Best Answer

The first president of Zambia was Dr Kenneth Kaunda, who was born in Chinsali, the Northern Province of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).

  • Kaunda was a qualified teacher and taught in a number of schools for years. In 1951, he left teaching to become Organizing Secretary of the Northern Rhodesian African National Congress for the Northern Province. In 1959, Kaunda broke away from the ANC and formed his own party, the Zambian National Congress (ZANC).

  • In 1964, Kaunda became the first president of an independent Zambia. He remained in power until 1991, when he stepped down following pressure from his own people and the international community.

  • He was succeeded by Dr Frederick Chiluba. Since stepping down as president, Kaunda has been involved in various charitable organizations.
