Analysis Summary:

The article's central claim that former Zambian President Lungu has died is currently unverified and contradicted by available sources. The provided sources focus on his ineligibility for re-election and his past presidency, but none confirm his death. Therefore, the article appears to be factually inaccurate.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** Former Zambian President Lungu dies aged 68.
  • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5: These sources all discuss Edgar Lungu's political career and his ineligibility for re-election, but *fail to cover* his death.
  • Internal Knowledge:* While I have no independent knowledge of his death, the lack of corroboration from multiple news sources suggests the claim is likely false.
• Claim:** He had "been receiving specialized treatment in South Africa", his party says.
  • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5: These sources *fail to cover* this claim about his medical treatment. Without further verification, this claim remains unverified.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• The primary claim of Lungu's death is contradicted by the *lack of coverage* in all provided sources. Reputable news outlets would likely report such an event.
• Verification Source #1: Confirms Edgar Lungu's birthdate, making him approximately 68 years old at the time of the other articles.
• Verification Source #2, #3, #4, and #5: Confirm that Lungu was barred from seeking re-election due to term limits.
