she&#8217;s a nurse &#8212; we have a little health clinic in our office, that&#8217;s where she was working,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, a prominent APC member bidding for a second term as Freetown mayor, tweeted photos from inside the building showing people taking cover on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am in the APC Party office and we are under fire,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the Sierra Leone Police said that members of the APC had paraded through Freetown &#8220;announcing to the public that they had won&#8221; the elections.<\/p>\n<p>They attracted &#8220;a huge crowd&#8221; of supporters outside the headquarters, who &#8220;started harassing passers-by&#8221;, the force said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the situation became unbearable, the Police had to fire teargas canisters so as to disperse the crowd which was harassing people on the road,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<p>Vote tallying got underway across the country earlier on Sunday, but results have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n<p>Voting during Saturday&#8217;s presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections was mostly peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>But on Sunday, chief electoral commissioner Mohamed Konneh outlined a number of districts where he said polling staff had been attacked by members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Sunday, the Sierra Leone People&#8217;s Party (SLPP) of President Julius Maada Bio alleged in a statement that &#8220;top-ranking members&#8221; of the APC had attacked its polling agents.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday evening, senior members of the opposition party told AFP that violence had taken place near several polling centres in Freetown.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Office of National Security, Abdulai Caulker, said at a press conference that he was not aware of those alleged incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Clashes also broke out outside APC&#8217;s headquarters on Wednesday after the party called for &#8220;peaceful&#8221; nationwide protests.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty-six people were arrested Wednesday across Freetown, police said.<\/p>\n<p>The APC has also alleged that its supporters were attacked while campaigning in rural parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Some level of political violence is typical of Sierra Leonean election campaigns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; &#8216;Concerned&#8217; &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday evening, the European Union Election Observation Mission said it was &#8220;concerned about the ongoing tabulation process&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Considering the highly polarized political environment and prevailing mistrust, it is imperative that the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone provides full transparency during the tabulation of results,&#8221; chief observer Evin Incir said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Carter Center, which also sent an observation mission, said Sunday evening it was concerned &#8220;about reports indicating a lack of transparency during parts of the tabulation process&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kamara of the APC alleged in a statement earlier on Sunday that the electoral commission was making it &#8220;impossible for us and other political parties to compare, reconcile and verify&#8221; tallying.<\/p>\n<p>The APC has for weeks accused the electoral commission of bias in favor of the governing party, raising speculation that it is laying the groundwork for a court challenge of the results -\u2013 a tactic both parties have used in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Konneh of the electoral commission said in a press conference that the party&#8217;s demands were &#8220;practically impossible&#8221; given the scale of the tallying.<\/p>\n<p>Many polling stations opened and closed late in Freetown on Saturday, with voting officially ending at 11:30 pm (2330 GMT), according to Konneh.<\/p>\n<p>He said it had been &#8220;one of the best election days&#8221; in recent history, &#8220;if not the best&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Results are expected within 48 hours of the vote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Key players &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twelve men and one woman were running for president, but incumbent Bio&#8217;s main challenger is Kamara of the APC. Bio narrowly beat Kamara in a runoff in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Both main parties said they were confident of victory in statements on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Some 3.4 million people were registered to vote, the electoral commission said.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential candidates must secure 55 percent of valid votes for a first-round win.<\/p>\n<p>Turnout has ranged from 76 to 87 percent over the past three elections.<\/p>\n<p>Voters will also elect members of parliament and local councils under a new proportional representation.<\/p>\n<p>A June 14 poll by survey group Institute for Governance Reform forecast that Bio would win 56 percent of the vote, with 43 percent for Kamara.<\/p>\n<p>Another poll, conducted by the newspaper Sierra Eye and two local data groups, forecast 38 percent for the incumbent and 25 percent for his main challenger.<\/p>\n<p>The elections are being closely followed in West Africa, a region recently dominated by coups and turmoil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMN | Reporters | AFP.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in Sierra Leone fired tear gas at the main opposition party&#8217;s headquarters on Sunday evening, authorities said, as voters awaited the results of a fiercely fought general election.
