Sierra Leoneans heaved a big sigh of relief Tuesday afternoon in Freetown when National Electoral Commission Chairman Mohamed Nfa Alie Conteh released the much awaited final results of last week’s general elections held on Wednesday March 7.
No political party was however able to get the 55 percent required to win the presidency at first ballot, thus necessitating a run-off election slated for March 27, 2018.
