<p>The UK is committed to supporting the aspirations of the Sierra Leonean people
and has engaged stakeholders including the government, opposition, election bodies
and international community in the months leading up to, during and after the elections.
We have given consistent messages about the importance of free and fair elections,
good governance and the rule of law. The former Foreign Secretary raised these issues
during his March visit to Sierra Leone and in a telephone call with President Bio
on 7 August. It remains vital that Sierra Leone's political leaders support the democratic
process and reduce the risk of civil unrest.</p>
