No results... but rumours...

This post appeared on Facebook at 5:30 PM on Sunday... a day after the elections... and is totally false. The author is a well-known "troublemaker" who calls herself a journalist and might just throw this country back into violence. This sort of stuff is now all over the FB groups from Sierra Leone. Sigh. It's disgusting what some people will do to this country.

No results have been officially announced...

I can confirm that the ruling party has already won 71 Parliamentary seats from all the four regions of the country making the next Government of President Koroma to be one of the most representative of national unity that the country has seen since restoration of multi-party democracy.
This 71 seat winning means, even without the Paramount Chief MPs who traditionally vote with ruling party, the APC has an almost two-thirds majority in the next Parliament. It means the APC can now make changes to the National Constitution even if the SLPP is opposed to such changes.
