Today, President Julius Maada Bio is set to receive the conclusive report from the Tripartite Committee on Electoral Systems and Management Bodies Review. The presentation will take place at State House in Freetown, marking a significant milestone following six months of intensive collaboration among key stakeholders.

The Tripartite Committee, comprising representatives from the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) government, the All Peoples Congress (APC), and moral guarantors, finalized their recommendations after a thorough assessment of electoral systems and processes. This initiative was undertaken in response to the aftermath of the June 24, 2023 national elections, which were marred by controversy.

Chief Minister David Moinina Sengeh confirmed the completion of the report in a statement on Sunday, expressing satisfaction with the outcome of the Committee’s efforts. He highlighted that the Committee’s mandate includes examining and revising electoral structures to ensure future elections uphold principles of fairness, credibility, and transparency.

The establishment of the Tripartite Committee was facilitated through international mediation, underscoring a commitment to resolving electoral disputes and strengthening democratic practices in Sierra Leone. Today’s presentation of the report to President Bio represents a crucial step towards implementing reforms aimed at fostering trust and inclusivity in the electoral process.
