Samura Kamara of main oppostion APC came second with 1,148,262 or 41.16% of the votes cast.

Eleven other candidates received combined vote of less than 3%.

A candidate required 55% of valid votes to win the first round, otherwise, the two frontrunners go into run-off vote, which is unnecessary in this case going by the ECSL announcement.
