2023 Elections: Political Parties Agree to Ban Rally

As the June 24 General Elections approach, the Political Parties Registration Commission of Sierra Leone (PPRCSL) as one of the bodies putting mechanisms in place to ensure a positive elections outcome has engaged leaders and representatives from the seventeen registered political parties in Sierra Leone.

The engagement which was held on Monday in Freetown, the 17 political parties in Sierra Leone have reached a consensus to ban rallies in the 2023 general elections.

This is to be replaced by town hall meetings or converging in a designated area to speak to the electorates and share different campaign messages by these political parties.

The PPRCSL also met with political parties and key stakeholder in Bo City to discuss the different communication strategies ahead of the elections.

They agreed that, there should be enough police coverage from start to finish at every meeting point involving a political party and its electorates. The SLP is advised to accord equal opportunity to all political parties in exercise of their campaign process.

PPRCSL we appreciate you guys for bringing up such a brilliant idea, I think that would help save some innocent life during rallies ( from accident, and other violence activities)

Banning political rally to allow innocent Citizens to live in peace. PERFECTLY makes sense to me. The evil factors of these political parties have planned create serious trouble to the peace of Sierra Leone. A plane fail Strategy. Good decisions by PPRCSL

I support PPRC wholeheartedly. We want a peaceful atmosphere in our elections in Sierra Leone. Some people find pleasure in chaotic situations forgetting that prevention is better than cure.

Good Decisions PPRCSL, thanks to all the 17 political parties that accepted this rally polly idea.
Ibrahim A Mansaray | 2023-03-30 06:58:59

Actually we thanks and appreciate the PPRC and all our respectable leaders for the good implementation of this idea in other to build up MAMA SALONE as one . But to end my comments is about the 17 political parties should come down to the main limit we know which is SLPP & APC as an example to other country. Thank you all from G MIKE 👍

A rally is a clear demonstration who will win the forth coming election, there is no need to ban rallies in the eleventh hour. Now we only have two substantive parties( APC & SLPP) are the legitimate parties have fulfill PPRCL from their last press release. I’m pre sure the APC will kick out this bad plans of SLPP. Standard of living is killing Sierra Leoneans everywhere.

This is a very good decision made by all parties. God bless those that came with this brilliant ideas. It will reduce tension and violence. It's good for this sierra Leone

Shame on pprc just to deprived the people of sierra Leone to exeecise their democratic rights. A salone God take these devils and evil people out of our country.

Prince Aleks | 2023-03-29 18:09:00

This absolutely makes sense to me!
Adikalie A.Kamara | 2023-03-29 17:44:59

That's good, this will reduce crime rate during election.
Philip | 2023-03-29 17:24:44

Still there will be tension in the meeting area though not as much as in the rallies, but it's a step to the right direction. Together we build sierra leon
Umaru Sawaneh | 2023-03-29 17:19:55

The SLPP government is afraid of the popularity of the mighty APC, that's why they're coming up with all sort of strategies
Edward sei Junior | 2023-03-29 17:08:59

I totally agree with P P R C S L .
Osman Jalloh | 2023-03-29 17:06:29

Though this will affect smaller parties but it is a good decision at least for the betterment of Sierra Leoneans
Eldred Nelson | 2023-03-29 16:12:46

This is a brilliant idea to band all political parties to rally in this coming general election ✅, at least this will ease the political tension.
Samuel Leigh | 2023-03-29 15:51:54

Good idea
Mohamed Muslim Kamara | 2023-03-29 15:50:44

Very good decision on PPRCSL and all the political parties.I would suggest to also delete all the other political parties except A.P.C and SLPP. It's a waste on the nations wealth.

Sierraloded is one of the best
Abubakarr mustapha Bainda | 2023-03-29 14:23:28

Very big shame on ourselves as sierra leonean. Less than four million registered voters with seventeen political parties.what a shame in our political arena. Nigeria, big as the are over ten million registered voters with four political parties. Everyone wants to govern sierra Leone and in the end only one party will lead the country. I'm happy to hear that PPRC has ban railing in this coming election. At least violence will not erupt during or within election period and all those who have plans to perpetrate and course mayhem back to sender.
