In a post shared on Twitter, yesterday evening, Samura Kamara, the presidential candidate of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), expressed deep concerns regarding the recent presidential election results.
Kamara, who lost the June 24 election to the incumbent Julius Maada Bio on the first round of voting, raised questions about the transparency and integrity of the electoral process.
Kamara, a firm believer in the core principles of transparency, accountability, and the importance of respecting the will of the people, called for a thorough investigation into the electoral process.
He highlighted the need for a fair and honest system that upholds the sacred principles upon which the nation was established.
The results, announced by the Chief Electoral Commissioner, Mohamed Konneh, indicated that Bio secured 56.17% of the valid votes cast, while Kamara received 41.16% of the votes. However, Kamara and his party refuse to accept the outcome and believe there were irregularities that need to be addressed.
“I continue to reject the result. It does not reflect the will of the people. On June 24 Sierra Leoneans came out and voted in masses for change. Their democratic rights to choose and to be represented by a legitimate government must not only be respected but protected,” Kamara stated.
The opposition leader’s statement emphasized the importance of unity among citizens to preserve the principles of the nation and ensure the integrity of the democratic system.
Kamara called on supporters and concerned citizens to join him in demanding accountability and holding responsible parties accountable for any irregularities.

Point of correction Sierraloaded, Samura did not lost the June 24 elections it is just that a bunch of criminal organized themselves to undermine democracy.

Please sierraloaded, we kindly request you as an investigative media group to ask Dr samura Kamara to tell us we the citizens of this country who have largely voted in June 24 elections to re-elect President Bio to continue his second term in office, the independent body that will be setup to investigate the just concluded elections to bring a fact findings to the limelight of the people . In the course of doing so,we will like to know the body will be set by whom, the composition of it and its neutrality and above all,without interfering into the sovereignty of Sierra leone
to you the frist commenter If you don’t know how to say something lucrative please close your beak or proboscis okay period
I mean Alhajie babah Sillah
Samura Kamara is acting like an educated illiterate and instrument of social unrest. What independent body you think will come and investigate the june 24 elections .why the electoral court was created .was its not to seek redress if you are not sertify with the result. Were you not directed by chief electoral commissioner to go to court within the period of seven days if you were not sertify .
Rubbish election 🗳 in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Some of you people you are under parental care you don’t even know what is going on in the country that why you are supporting the government of maada bio
Bear yaa, Bio been bear in 2012 e nor go police, so u sef for bear yaa.
The June 24 election was never a loose for the APC party, the election was stolen from we the masses. A bunch of bad folks from SLPP Bio government prepared results and announced bio as the president, while our votes are still tallying in the tally centers.
Alhaji Sillah mind your words ok, u are of of the hyprocrite people that want the country to go backwards, Samura win both 2018 and 2023 election he didn’t lose any of this election so be mindful of how you respond or reply to any message, selfish people🙄
Yes . Samura did not lose the selection made by EBK. Except you have another Sierra Leone and another national.returning officer.rather than Mr. Konneh. Otherwise, your so called Samura is a total looser. He will never win elections in Sierra Leone except through the selection process by EBK. So go find something else to do. Whether he accepts ithe result or not, we move on!
Salone we Don suffer 😢again Allah please 🙏help us and destroy all the enemies in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Dr Samura kamara should think positively not selfishly,that the country specifically it’s bigger anyone in sierra Leone. You are claiming,the results doesn’t reflect the will of the people,I don’t know which people’s Dr Samura kamara is talking about, whilst majority have voted for the incumbent president. Your own stronghold you are talking of, the incumbent defeated you in certain area, some went teeth by teeth, only some areas in your stronghold defeated the incumbent. Whilst the incumbent didn’t allow you to gain much vote.you can only talk to the fool sierra Leonean or this who are partizan or tribalistic. I want the general public to note, APC started loosing the election from census period,the just think the were government, therefore any regulations made by the president the shouldn’t obey.
Look at the foker you said samura kamara don’t wine are you mad samura kamara is old but have experience More than stupid mad man Bio his mind is not working so if don’t know how to talk just closed your smell mouth okay

This is the issue am having with some APC supporters they will always become blind to the good work of president Bio and find negative ways of blackmailing him . Since you hate Bio and the SLPP party ,you will always become deaf and blind to the good things president Bio has done APC Kono votes Matters 2028 again is SLPP back to back to back .
