RRF Forms Bolster SLPP 2018 Elections Victory Claim

In the middle of claims and counter-claims about who won the Sierra Leone presidential runoff elections, the opposition SLPP says it has provided international election observers access to the RRF forms signed by NEC, APC, SLPP and election observers after vote counts at every polling station in Sierra Leone.

RRF forms are the forms into which the vote scores of APC Samura Kamara and SLPP Julius Bio were entered and signed by all parties, and witnessed by the observers.

The APC party attempted to stall the tallying by prevailing on Miatta French at NEC to introduce all by herself the Excel software to add vote counts, a move which IT experts of international statue confirm can be pre-programmed with embedded instructions to deduct numbers from one party and add to another.

APC is responsible for the confusion about who won or not won the runoff when the [APC] issued a victory press release followed by a press conference by the opposition.

It is also evident that the APC party has been obstructing the final stages of the electoral process since voting started on March 31.

Security forces receiving a command from the APC led government raided several polling stations during voting.

The government shut the Internet down and disconnected phone lines during the counting.

The APC party attempted to stall the tallying by prevailing on Miatta French at NEC to introduce all by herself the Excel software to add vote counts, a move which IT experts of international statue confirm can be pre-programmed with embedded instructions to deduct numbers from one party and add to another.

Overwhelming eyewitnesses in the city of Kenema said they saw the APC Minister, Karamoh Kabba, transporting pre-voted ballot papers for insertion into NEC’s counted ballot boxes in the area which could have caused over-votes and vote cancellation at polling stations where SLPP led APC by a landslide.
