By Baillor Jalloh

On Saturday, over three million Sierra Leoneans headed to the polls to vote for a new president that will lead the country for the next five years. Incumbent Dr. Julius Maada Bio, who is aiming to secure a second term, voted at Wilberforce barracks and his main rival Dr. Samura Kamara from the All Peoples Congress Party casted his vote at Marfa field in Lumley. However, some polling stations in many parts of the country were over two hours late, before they opened their doors to voters.
