Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio was re-elected to serve a second term with 56.17 percent of the vote, the head of the electoral commission said Tuesday, June 27, 2023, prompting the runner-up to "categorically reject" the result.
Bio's main challenger Samura Kamara, who came second with 41.16 percent of the vote according to final results announced in Freetown, branded the result "not credible". He further stated that he needs justice.
At a press conference Monday, European Union observers said a lack of transparency and communication by the electoral authority had led to mistrust in the electoral process.
The monitors said they witnessed violence at seven polling stations during voting hours and at three others during the closing and counting stages.
