The court had stayed the run-off between Julius Maada Bio and Samura Kamara last week after a member of Kamara’s party alleged fraud, but the court said on Monday that the election “can go ahead as planned”.

It was not immediately clear if the commission would be able to organise the vote on Tuesday.
