Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. Sierra Leone’s Election Observers Network (EON) has declared the National Grand Coalition (NGC)’s just concluded National Convention elections as free, fair and transparent.
According to the Network, its observation team was present throughout the event which commenced several hours behind the scheduled time.

“Thankfully, they behaved professionally at all times and averted any potential blowout. Elections were conducted in a simple but efficient manner. A roll call of delegates from respective districts/regions/ organizations, their relevant documents checked at the first post, ID card, party membership card constituency cards-then issued with one ballot paper, in the full view of the general public, and directed towards the booth-one after the other- to vote in private” the Network reported.
