The Church of the Province of Central Africa has held an election for a Diocesan bishop in Lusaka after the Rt Revd Leonard Mwenda retired. The Most Revd Bernard Malango, the Primate of Central Africa, conducted the election in Lusaka at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and later announced that the Very Revd David Njovu, the cathedral's dean, had been elected.

David Njovu, who was the first black Dean of the Lusaka Cathedral, is aged 43. The consecration of the new bishop will take place in August 2004.
