The opposition in Sierra Leone started shouting about the election results

he opposition party's candidate for president in Sierra Leone referred to the preliminary results of the election as "robbery in broad daylight" and claimed that his representatives were denied the chance to watch the ballots being tallied.

Even though the majority of ballots cast were counted, incumbent Julius Maada Bio and his primary competitor Samura Kamara appear to be far apart in the polls.

Mr. Bio's achievement, according to the BBC correspondent in Freetown, the nation's capital, can be linked to some of the political alliances he formed while running for office, including taking over opposition strongholds.

Election monitors from the European Union have accused Sierra Leone's electoral commission of lying and claimed that violence occurred in some locations throughout the polling process.

The final results of the Sunday presidential election in Sierra Leone are anticipated to be made public soon, according to the electoral commission there.
