President Hakainde Hichilema's inauguration will go ahead by 2026-08-31.
The verdict· graded 31 Aug
Hakainde Hichilema’s swearing-in was scheduled for 1 September 2026, not by 31 August 2026.
The claim set a deadline of 2026-08-31, but the research notes say the inauguration was officially set for 2026-09-01. Since it had not gone ahead by the stated date, the prediction was wrong.

Chelsea did not win 2-1; the match finished Fulham 2-3 Chelsea on 2026-08-24.
The call on the winner was right, but the predicted scoreline was wrong: Chelsea did beat Fulham, yet not 2-1. The actual result was 3-2, so the claim missed the margin and final score.
