Julius Bio, incumbent president of Sierra Leone, has been declared winner of the election in the country.
Bio gained 56 percent of the vote cast to defeat Samura Kamara who trailed behind with 41 percent.
The result was announced by Mohamed Konneh, chief electoral commissioner, on Tuesday.
However, the All Peoples Congress (APC) which Kamara belongs to, said it will not accept the fake and cooked up results.
The APC alleged a lack of transparency and accountability by the country’s electoral commission, and said it would continue to reject the fabricated result and reaffirm their victory.
Evin Incir, chief observer of the European Union (EU) election observation mission in the country, said the electoral commission lacked clear, timely, and comprehensive communication with the broader public, creating uncertainties and reducing stakeholders’ trust.
Bio, a former coup leader, became Sierra Leone president in April 2018.
