Who ever is reporting this is creating avenue for chaos in the country. You are taking about SLPP leading District’s and then putting APC as leaders of the District’s lead by SLPP. Please read your information and make corrections before APC takes on the streets.
Maada Bio is winning with no run off
We need a change
We need a change
Your news are always distorted…
Lot of grieve errors
Where to put SLPP instead put APC
Yesterday you reported wrong election results figures out to the public….your news say bio had 1,678……ECSL was saying 1,067……
😥😥😥 Samura Kamara is not a politician, but Ernest Bai Koroma forced him on us now he has totally failed us. Another five years to be awaiting. 😥😥
Samura kamara is our next president
Let APC wait for the next election.
