This weekend eligible voters in Sierra Leone will be casting their ballots up and down the country to decide whether to re-elect President Maada Bio or elect a new president. President Bio’s main challenger is Samura Kamara from the opposition APC party once again. He came a very close second in 2018’s presidential election.

It’s an election which comes at a time when Sierra Leone has been dealing with economic challenges which have made life almost unbearable for so many there.

The campaign season has also been marred by a rising number of violent incidents and there are fears that tensions could boil over in this election.

So, for a look at the ins and outs of the election season, Alan Kasujja spoke to journalist Umaru Fofana in the capital, Freetown.
