Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Vice-Presidential Candidate of Sierra Leone\u2019s main opposition party, All People\u2019s Congress, Chernor Maju Bah alias Chericoco has criticised the country\u2019s Electoral Commission for disenfranchising a voter at Brookfields in Freetown.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cA voter who registered at the MMCET Brookfields was not allowed to vote,\u201d Bah said on his official Twitter page.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He said the voter was with her ID card but was refused to vote because her address according to the card was in Kambia.According to the APC Vice-Presidential Candidate, the woman said it was a mistake made by the Commission which they promised to rectify but could not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis deliberate voter suppression by ECSL is unacceptable,\u201d he fumed.Similar concerns were reported in other polling units across the country during Saturday polls.<\/p>\n

One report at the SLMC Calaba Town polling unit with centre code 16030 alleged that a local chief was not allowed to vote because he was without an ID card. The man said during the time for the collection of ID cards, the ECSL staff said his name was not on the register but issued him with a slip with his personal details.<\/p>\n

The issue was complained to British High Commission Observers who happened to be at the scene.<\/p>\n

In another news, regional tally centres have opened on Sunday morning for the collation of results.<\/p>\n
