In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio strongly denied claims that there was violence at the All People's Congress (APC) headquarters in Freetown on election day, contradicting EU election coverage. It was contradictory.

This denial caused controversy and raised concerns about the credibility of his statements and the general truth of the political situation in Sierra Leone.

President Bio claims no shots were fired at APC headquarters during the disputed elections in June, and there is no risk of Sierra Leone being drawn back into the conflict despite the disputed election results, according to Night Watch Newspaper He declared. This contradicts reports from Al Jazeera, local media and members of the international community that documented incidents of violence that led to the death of a long-time employee.

Prominent journalists and public figures, including Aki Sawyer, who was re-elected as Mayor of Freetown, shared their experiences of dodging bullets while reporting on the day's situation, casting further doubt on President Bio's denials and his questioned the credibility of the claim.

President Bio's denial raises questions about his involvement in the ongoing dialogue to resolve the electoral deadlock following the June 24 elections. Critics say his consistent denials raise questions about his credibility and raise concerns about his willingness to act in the nation's best interest.

This denial not only calls into question his handling of the situation, but also Sierra Leone's electoral processes in 2018 and 2023. Many fear his actions could undermine the country's progress toward stability and democracy.

As this controversy unfolds, the veracity and credibility of Sierra Leone's leaders' statements are being seriously called into question, and what impact this denial will have on the ongoing dialogue process and the country's future political stability. I don't know yet whether I will give it.
