As counting continues in Sierra Leone’s hotly contested general election, the former mayor of Freetown has echoed opposition allegations that the tallying process is not transparent.
So far, around 60% of votes have been counted.
“He says he’s announced 60% but before he announces the remaining 40% there’s a need for everyone to be given access to the information,” Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr of the opposition APC party told the BBC’s Newsday programme.
“First to verify it because that’s what the law says. That’s what we’re asking for, anything short of that is definitely going to be questionable,” Ms Aki-Sawyerr added.
So far, the incumbent President Julius Maada Bio appears to have a strong lead over his rival Samura Kamara.
