According to the final results of the count, the current president, Julius Maada Bio, was re-elected with almost 57 percent of the votes for a second consecutive term against the aspirations of his main challenger, Samura Kamara, who registered 41.16.

In a post on his Twitter social network profile, Kamara further described the results as “not credible”, after the APC leadership on Monday condemned in a statement what it described as “lack of inclusiveness, transparency and accountability” on the part of the electoral commission.

They also criticized the lack of information from the polling stations, assured that “the results were fabricated” and reaffirmed “the victory” of the opposition grouping.

On their side, observers from the European Union said in a press conference that during the voting there was “lack of communication and transparency on the part of the electoral authority, which caused distrust in the consultation process”.

On the other hand, supporters of the re-elected president expressed confidence in his administration, particularly in the economic field and the creation of jobs for young people.
