The main opposition party, the All Peoples Congress (APC), met today with the European Union Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Jacek Jankowski, and members of the EU Delegation to discuss political developments in the country.

The APC delegation, led by acting party chairman Ambassador Osman Foday Yansaneh, held “a frank exchange on the current political developments in Sierra Leone, including the state of implementation of the Tripartite Committee recommendations,” according to a message issued by the EU.

The meeting took place as APC members of Parliament boycotted this morning’s parliamentary session to approve Edmond Sylvester Alpha, the proposed Chief Electoral Commissioner and Chairman of the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL).

The party provided no information about the outcome of the discussions or any immediate next steps.
