Thousands of Sierra Leoneans will assemble at numerous polling places today to choose a new presidential candidate, mayors, counselors, and parliamentarians. Ethnicity and geographic location have historically played a significant role in determining who wins elections in Sierra Leone. However, the Sierra Leonean Electoral Commission refuted the allegations and stated that it is prepared to hold free and fair elections.

The political environment in the nation is already humming with activity and anticipation in the last days of campaigning.
