Former President, Goodluck
Jonathan has returned to Sierra Leone to observe the country’s presidential
run-off polls scheduled for Tuesday, March 27.
A statement issued by Mr
Ikechukwu Eze, the spokesman to the former president, noted that Jonathan, who
is leading the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA)
Election Observation Mission, arrived Freetown on Friday.
Jonathan also led EISA to the
first round of the elections on March 7, in which none of the candidates polled
the required 55 per cent of votes to win at the first ballot.
EISA had declared the process of
the March 7 general elections as peaceful and credible.
The mission in its interim report
presented to the media on March 9 added that the elections were “conducted
substantially in line with sub-regional, continental and international
standards.”
It also observed that voter
turnout was impressive while the conduct of electoral personnel was
professional.
Jonathan, who presented the
report also appealed to the people of Sierra Leone and all stakeholders to remain
calm until the final electoral processes were concluded.
