The All People’s Congress Party will update members of the Public on the current status of the Tripartite in their first Press conference today, 6th January 2024.

Representing the APC at the Committee, Dr. Richard Conteh affirmed that APC is committed to ensuring the dialogue continues, dealing with issues related to the structures , processes of the country’s election and to identify all of those things that undermine the  country’s democracy.

Meanwhile, the United States Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield announced that the U.S. government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide US$1.5 million to support electoral reforms in Sierra Leone.

The dialogue was facilitated by the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the Commonwealth, following the request of Sierra Leone’s Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion (ICPNC).

It would be recalled that the APC had previously rejected the June 24 election results, citing significant irregularities and breaches of electoral procedures. As a result, they opted out of participating in governance across various tiers, including the legislature and local councils.
