The president of Sierra Leone won the election again

Sierra Leone's Electoral Commission in West Africa has said that the country's President Julius Maada Bio won the last election, which gave him a new five-year term.

The Sierra Leonean Electoral Commission has said that 59-year-old President Julius Maada Bio of the SLPP party won the poll last Saturday. President Bio got 56% of the votes, which means that he didn't have to go to the second round of the election with the leader of the opposition, 72-year-old APC party member Samura Kamara, who got 41% of the votes and is in second place.

Earlier, the country's biggest opposition party, APC, said that the results of the temporary presidential election were rigged. Since the election in which President Bio ran against 12 other people, there has been trouble.

Sierra Leone, which is in West Africa, had an Ebola outbreak in 2014 and a civil war between 1991 and 2002 in which more than 50,000 people died.
