Samura Kamara Reacts to Presidential Election Result
Ibrahim Hashim Samura Kamara, the leader and presidential candidate of the main opposition party, All People’s Congress (APC), has vehemently rejected the announced results of the June 24 Presidential elections in Sierra Leone.
In a post shared on social media, Kamara denounced the outcome as a frontal attack on the country’s emerging democracy and deemed the results lacking credibility.
This afternoon, Chief Electoral Commissioner, Mohamed Konneh, declared the incumbent President Julius Maada Bio as the winner of the election, securing a second term in office. President Bio obtained 56.17 percent of the votes cast, while Kamara trailed behind with 41.16 percent.
Addressing his compatriots, Kamara expressed his disappointment and called the day a sad one for Sierra Leone.
“It is a sad day for our beloved country. It is a frontal attack on our fledgling democracy. These results are NOT credible and I categorically reject the outcome so announced by the electoral commission,” he stated.
He rallied against what he perceived as a travesty and pledged to continue the fight for a better future for the country.
Kamara extended his gratitude to his supporters, emphasizing their trust and confidence in his leadership.
Furthermore, Kamara acknowledged the efforts of both local and international partners who championed transparency and democracy throughout the election process.
Despite his rejection of the announced results, he assured his commitment to rising above this setback and pursuing his vision for a stronger Sierra Leone.

Samura Kamara is presently confused. He still has the conference of being the president of Sierra Leone.
But Sir, stop deceiving your supporters, stop risking their lives and stop wasting your money on Adebayo.
Samura Kamara😆😆
Just sit down and keep quiet.
You are not fit to be president.
Fuck off, you have failed the people of Sierra Leone.
With all the suffering people went through you can’t protect their votes.
Go Overseas and find a job, liar.
You are a disgrace to God and Man especially to the people of Sierra Leone.
Samura Kamara😆😆
You have done your worse.
You are a disgrace and failure to God and Man especially to the people of Sierra Leone.
With all the suffering the people of this country went through for you, in return for you to save their votes.
You can not.
So just fuck off my friend.
So this is how Lakadesic you are.
Go overseas and find a job, because you have become nothing in this country.
Nincompoop.
The cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭 of the suffering Sierra leonean citizens must be heard. With God all things are possible
Only in Sierra Leone people celebrate poverty 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m not stopping you from celebrating or dancing because it is your democratic right but mind you there are no separations of prices of commodities in the market. We all dae suffer the same. Bad government will stop a serious worker to achieve what he wants.
Please Mr samura kamara, stop that’s of your useless son, Adebayor, not to preach any inciting message, or reckless post in Sierra Leone again. Take your rest in your village, Leadership is not meant for DRUNKER.
