The 50% + 1 line
A presidential candidate must win more than 50% of valid votes cast. If nobody clears the line, the top two go to a run-off within 37 days.
60.3%
50%
Shaded band = every final share still arithmetically available to Hakainde Hichilema from the ~5,610,014 votes estimated to be outstanding. It narrows as counting proceeds. Cross-checked against the register: at 55–75% turnout of 8,786,300 registered voters, between 4,795,177 and 6,552,437 votes remain uncounted.
To finish above 50%, Hakainde Hichilema needs 49.9% of everything still outstanding — currently running at 60.3%.

Equal-weight view — one tile per province
A geographic map gives North-Western the visual weight of a region with a fraction of Lusaka's voters. Same data, one tile each, so area stops arguing for one side.
Boundaries: geoBoundaries (Zambia Data Hub), CC BY 4.0. Colours are assigned from a neutral palette and carry no party meaning.
The board
One square per constituency, all 226 of them. It fills up as declarations come in — the empty squares are the story, because that is where the result still lives.
