The Presidential Election result in Zambia is due on January 20, 2015. This day will decide the fate of Zambia’s development as the new President of Zambia will preside over his seat. However, an unexpected news that came to limelight was that Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s empire was at stake in this election. According to an article published on an infamous Zambian news portal, it is being said that if Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s party doesn’t win this election then Dr. Mahtani can face some stringent tax evasion cases.

The news has come as a shock for most of the people in Zambia as they were not expected a conspiracy in the midst of a political havoc. Nevertheless, the conspirators did manage to create a news that was as fake as their own words. This is not the first time when something like this has happened. The year 2014 has already witnessed some similar shameful events.

Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the Chairman of Finance Bank Zambia and the owner of the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory. It is totally absurd to connect a businessman to politics. Being an iconic figure in Zambia, business and development of Zambia attract Dr. Mahtani. All other areas are of lesser priority to him. His faith in Christianity and Biblical Principles has made him a man whose only motive is to develop Zambia and help the poor. Least interested in politics, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has never shown any interest towards either joining politics or supporting any party. Recently, his bank has opened a new branch in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi.
