The ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) has won 60 percent of the seats in a parliamentary election, the election commission said on Saturday, as the main opposition party demanded a rerun of the general election that also saw President Julius Maada Bio win a second term.

The SLPP won 81 seats while the opposition All People's Congress won 54, according to the results read by the commission's chairman Mohamed Kenewui Konneh.
