Chiluba, a trade union leader, won the country's multi-party presidential election in 1991 as the candidate of the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD), defeating long-time President Kenneth Kaunda. He was re-elected in 1996. As he was unable to run for a third term in 2001, former Vice President Levy Mwanawasa instead ran as the MMD candidate and succeeded him. After leaving office, Chiluba was the subject of a long investigation and trial regarding alleged corruption; he was eventually acquitted in 2009.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"30 April 1943","date":"1943-04-30"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Kitwe","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q239580"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"18 June 2011","date":"2011-06-18"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Lusaka","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3881"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Zambia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q953"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Movement for Multi-Party Democracy","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1951163"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P102"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Vera Tembo","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26923348"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"chairperson of the Organisation of African Unity (9 July 2001 – 2 January 2002)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19161632","start":"2001-07-09","end":"2002-01-02"},{"text":"President of Zambia (2 November 1991 – 2 January 2002)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18985034","start":"1991-11-02","end":"2002-01-02"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Chiluba","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Frederick Chiluba born?","a":"Frederick Chiluba was born on 30 April 1943 in Kitwe."},{"q":"What positions has Frederick Chiluba held?","a":"Positions held by Frederick Chiluba include: chairperson of the Organisation of African Unity (2001–2002); President of Zambia (1991–2002)."}],"related":[{"name":"Hosni Mubarak","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hosni-mubarak"},{"name":"Gamal Abdel Nasser","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gamal-abdel-nasser"},{"name":"Seewoosagur Ramgoolam","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/seewoosagur-ramgoolam"},{"name":"Hassan II","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hassan-ii"},{"name":"Siaka Stevens","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/siaka-stevens"},{"name":"Kwame Nkrumah","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/kwame-nkrumah"},{"name":"Kenneth Kaunda","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/kenneth-kaunda"},{"name":"Guy Scott","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/guy-scott"},{"name":"Levy Mwanawasa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/levy-mwanawasa"},{"name":"Rupiah Banda","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/rupiah-banda"},{"name":"Hakainde Hichilema","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hakainde-hichilema"},{"name":"Michael Sata","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/michael-sata"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/frederick-chiluba-72f1db3eb9.jpg","width":500,"height":634,"license":"CC BY 4.0","credit":"European Communities, 1994 / EC - Audiovisual Service","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frederick_Chiluba_on_February_3,_1994_(cropped).jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Frederick Chiluba","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Chiluba","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q297057","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q297057","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Frederick Chiluba on February 3, 1994 (cropped).jpg by European Communities, 1994 / EC - Audiovisual Service (CC BY 4.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frederick_Chiluba_on_February_3,_1994_(cropped).jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Frederick Chiluba, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
