Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>In a crucial turn of events, Samura Kamara, the leader of the main opposition party, cast his vote today at the MAFA field polling centre located at Regent Road in Lumley. However, his voting experience was marred by a series of concerns regarding the overall process.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Kamara highlighted several issues that he encountered during the voting process.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He expressed his dismay over the delayed commencement of the polls and the poor organization observed at various polling stations, particularly the one where he cast his vote.Additionally, he raised concerns about the alleged intimidation of APC party agents in the southern regions, specifically in Bonthe and Pujehun.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Kamara pointed out the presence of missing names on both the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) and his party\u2019s voters list.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Despite these challenges, Kamara remained confident in his prospects for winning the elections.<\/p>\n

<\/a>In a statement, he said, \u201cIf they were afraid of me, or if they were confident of winning the elections, they wouldn\u2019t have been playing all these games.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further urged the ECSL to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their votes, even if it requires extending the voting period by an additional two days.<\/p>\n

The concerns raised by the opposition leader have added to the growing discourse surrounding the fairness and transparency of the ongoing electoral process. As the nation eagerly awaits the final results, the attention now shifts to the ECSL and their response to these allegations.<\/p>\n
