Zambian President-elect Hakainde Hichilema on Monday promised a better democracy in his victory speech after defeating incumbent Edgar Lungu in last Thursday's election.

赞比亚当选总统哈凯恩德·希奇莱马在上周四的选举中击败现任总统埃德加·伦古后，于周一在他的胜选演讲中承诺建立更好的民主。

Lungu conceded defeat on Monday after the near final results of the vote count may clear that Hichilema had gotten 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff.

伦古周一承认失败，此前接近选举尾声的计票结果可能表明，希奇莱马获得了避免决选所需的50%的选票。

In his speech, he criticized what he called Lungu's brutal regime and promised that he will be president to all Zambians whether they voted for him or not,

希奇莱马在讲话中批评了伦古的残暴政权，并承诺他将成为所有赞比亚人的总统，无论他们是否投票给他。

and recalling that he had been arrested and charged with treason in 2017 over refusing to yield to Lungu's presidential motorcade, Hichilema said, "we are not going into office to arrest those who arrested us."

希奇莱马回忆说，他曾在2017年因拒绝向伦古的总统车队屈服而被捕并被控叛国罪。希奇勒马说，“我们执政，不是为了逮捕那些逮捕我们的人。”

In his concession speech, Lungu congratulated the new president, calling him "my brother."

伦古在败选演讲中向新总统表示祝贺，称他为“我的兄弟”。

This was Hichilema's sixth bid for the top job and his third challenge to his bitter rival Lungu after losing to Lungu by a wafer-thin 100,000 vote margin in 2016.

这是希奇莱马第六次竞选总统，也是他第三次挑战劲敌伦古。2016年，他以微弱的10万票之差输给伦古。
