He further explained that a combination of online and offline methods will be utilized to collate the results before the final announcement of the presidential election winner.
Konneh stated, “There is a process leading up to the final stage, which is the announcement of results by the Chief Electoral Officer,” providing an overview to the attendees.
Chairing the meeting was Chief Minister Jacob Jusu Saffa, who assured everyone that the government has allocated the necessary resources for the smooth conduct of the elections on June 24th. He emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring a peaceful electoral process, free from violence.
