Sierra Leone’s main opposition party on Saturday demanded a re-run of last weekend’s presidential election after incumbent President Julius Maada Bio was declared the winner and swiftly sworn in for a second term in the West African nation.

According to the opposition All People’s Congress, APC, it has decided to formally reject the results of the national election won by President Julius Maada Bio, citing “glaring irregularities”, and called for a rerun of the June 24 poll.

Bio was re-elected for a second term with 56% of the vote, narrowly avoiding a run-off against main rival Samura Kamara of the opposition All People’s Congress, APC.

However, Kamara has questioned the official tally, while European election observers noted statistical inconsistencies.

In its first official statement on the full results, the APC said on Friday it rejected the outcome “given the glaring irregularities and violations of established electoral procedures.”

Meanwhile, Information Minister, Mohamed Rahman Swaray dismissed the APC’s call for a second vote.

“A rerun after an official declaration of results and a swearing-in ceremony is unconstitutional.

“It can only happen through a Supreme Court decision. Otherwise, no political party can arrogate themselves that right or power. It’s wishful thinking.” he said.

Report indicates that the APC has also demanded the resignation of election commission officials, a rerun of presidential and parliamentary elections within six months, and said it would ask foreign powers to impose travel bans on Bio, his wife, and a string of ministers and senior officials.

However, results of parliamentary and local council elections are expected later on Saturday, but the APC said it would also reject these and would not participate in any level of governance.

The standoff could worsen tensions that led to violence breaking out before, during, and after the vote.

The United States, Britain, Ireland, Germany, France, and the EU last week said they shared concerns about a lack of transparency in the vote-counting process, and that significant logistical problems had hampered voting in certain areas.

The election commission has said it will publish disaggregated results data per polling station to allow for closer public scrutiny of the results, but warned this will take some time.
