Sierra Leoneans Awaits Results In Tense Poll
The mineral-rich nation was already struggling to recover from a bloody civil war and the Ebola epidemic.
Sierra Leoneans are awaiting general election results following a tense campaign marred by violence.
President Bio is seeking a second term but faces competition from 11 challengers including former minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation Samura Kamara of the All-people’s Congress.
Sierra Leoneans began voting Saturday in fiercely contested presidential and parliamentary elections amid a cost-of-living crisis that helped spark deadly riots last year.
