Sierra Leone Elections: Results Awaited Amid Tension and Clashes.

Vote tallying is underway in Sierra Leone following the presidential, parliamentary, and local elections held on Saturday. The opposition All People's Congress (APC) has accused the electoral commission of bias in favor of the governing party, raising speculation of a court challenge of the results. The elections were relatively peaceful, but there were reports of violence and intimidation against party agents. Rising food prices were a key issue for many voters in the import-dependent West African nation of eight million people.
