Sierra Leone's Incumbent Faces Economic Turmoil in Presidential Election.

Sierra Leoneans are voting in the presidential election, with incumbent President Julius Maada Bio seeking a second term amid high unemployment and growing concern about the state of the country's economy. Bio's main competition is predicted to be Samura Kamara, the head of the All People's Congress Party. Nearly 60% of Sierra Leone's population of more than 7 million are facing poverty, with youth unemployment being one of the highest in West Africa. Deadly anti-government protests have rocked the country during Bio's presidency.
