General elections were held in Sierra Leone on 24 June 2023 to elect the president and members of Parliament.[1][2] Incumbent president Julius Maada Bio was re-elected with 56% of the vote and the Sierra Leone People's Party won 81 seats in Parliament compared to the main opposition party, the All People's Congress, which won 54 seats. The result was contested by the All People's Congress, which demanded a rerun, citing "glaring irregularities".[3][4] European election observers stated that there were "statistical inconsistencies" in the presidential results published, with the European Union Election Observation Mission saying that the electoral commission should "publish disaggregated results data per polling station to allow for public scrutiny of the results." Unless that happened, it said that transparency was compromised.[5] The Carter Center echoed these sentiments, as did the United States, Britain, Ireland, Germany, France and the European Union.[5][6]
