Deputy Justice Minister Clarifies Mandate of Tripartite Committee, Affirms 2028 For Next Elections

Sierra Leone’s Deputy Justice Minister, Alpha Sesay, clarified that the Tripartite Committee formed to review the June 2023 elections will not consider a re-run of the elections.

During the Ministry of Information’s weekly press briefing at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Deputy Minister Sesay addressed misconceptions about the committee’s mandate. He asserted that the committee’s work does not involve re-running the 2023 elections.

Sesay firmly rebuffed any assertions that linked the committee’s activities to the prospect of re-running the 2023 elections. He cautioned against misinformation that has caused public confusion and emphasized that the committee’s primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive review of Sierra Leone’s electoral systems, structures, and processes, aiming to recommend substantial reforms.

Dismissing speculation about an imminent re-run election, Sesay reiterated that the committee’s focus is on electoral reform, not on replacing President Julius Maada Bio’s current term. He highlighted that any grievances regarding electoral outcomes should follow due legal processes, including recourse to the Supreme Court, adhering strictly to established procedures and protocols.

Sesay also outlined the timeline for Sierra Leone’s next general election, scheduled for 2028, and affirmed that the window for any immediate re-run elections has closed.

Some people are not thinking about the progress of this country. Our guys aim power too much now rather than bringing some developmental things that would help to raised up the economy of the country.

You guys want to change our constitution because of apc?that will never happen in our country. The game dn play done. You apc guys should think what Ernest koroma did during his tenure ( his second term election). If you are not okay with the outcome of the election result you know where to go. All the time you guys are shouting international committees , its sounds so funny. Those guys are now letting you down 😂😂😂

Mr. Minister, you've said your own. But remember that you don't have the final say in any decision making in this country, so please hold your peace and let's listen to what the tripartite committee have to say. And one more thing sir! We are nor intimidated nor moved by whatever assertion you have made. You are not GOD.

Case finally close about the much talked about rerun of election. Don't allow yourself to be filled by some educated fulls. They are the very ones blowing trumpet 🎺 about a rerun forgetting the fact that they failed to seek redress at the supreme Court mandated to give verdict on such matters.
