Supporters of Sierra Leone's opposition All People's Congress (APC) party clashed with police during protests against the country's electoral commission and its chairman Mohamed Konneh, who they accused of bias in favour of the ruling party. The protesters demanded the release of a more detailed voter register for the upcoming presidential election, which will see 13 candidates vie for the top job. Incumbent President Julius Maada Bio is seeking a second term, with Samura Kamara, the head of the APC, his main opposition. The winner needs 55% of the vote to avoid a runoff.
