The High Court of Sierra Leone is set to hear the case between the All People’s Congress (APC) and the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) and others.
The case will be brought before the honorable court on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, at 10:30 am, according to a notice signed by the court Registrars.
The APC, one of Sierra Leone’s prominent political parties, has taken legal action against the Electoral Commission and various other entities.
The specifics of the case have not been disclosed, but it is believed to center around allegations of electoral malpractice and procedural irregularities in the just concluded elections.
However, in a statement issued yesterday, the main opposition party, announced that they will not seek redress in court, citing a lack of faith in the country’s judiciary.
This new development by the APC is in negation with what the former Secretary General of the Interim Governance and Transition Committee (ITGC), Abdul Kargbo said in a radio interview about a week ago. Kargbo said the party will challenge the election results in court.
According to Sierra Leone’s law, the APC is mandated to challenge the result within six days of its announcement. The results were announced last Tuesday by the Chief Electoral Commissioner, Mohamed Konneh, declaring the re-election of President Julius Maada Bio in the first ballot. However, the APC, presidential candidate, Samura Kamara was quick to denounce the results, citing irregularities in the tabulation process of the results. Some local and international observers also shared similar sentiments.
This legal battle has garnered significant attention and raised concerns about the integrity and transparency of Sierra Leone’s electoral processes.
We nor dae go court the judge now with e government now na toilet na by force for go court wona sef ooooo twwwwww
Case but no case because the APC was honestly defeated.
The only thing we need is peace
I want to hear good outcome of the case because APC and ECSL
Apc and the people of sierra Leone need justice in sierra Leone
What I’m telling the Judiciary of Sierra Leone that you can not Force the Horse to Drink. So the matter of informing the APC to go to the Court of Law it’s unacceptable to hear such from…. If APC should seek Redress for what the hell electoral commissioner and his collaborators has done to them, they will prefer not to work with the in-legitimate government of care taker ( bio) and they will still adhear to the international body’s Actions; towards the aftermath of the those who rige the results!!! APC can not accept and will never….!!!!!!!!! We are untop of Situation….
How can Apc shall win this very elections? With no message. Always bad mouthing every single one, and southeasterners winning from where, how, when🕒❓🕒❓🕒❓
If you are a general you are really a fool general. Fool APC.
2012 similar case was in court, what happens? What goes around comes around•
APC has never asked for a redress on the election mak practice . You can’t force APC to take ECSL to court.
Infact, this is a fake article.
Is it by force to go to court
Useless judiciary, useless army, useless police, useless civil society, useless religious council, everything useless
APC is not going to court….
The APC had made their decision known to the people of Sierra Leone and the international community.
“They are not going to court nor participating in the 6th well of Parliament. Period

Please APCians, steady yourselves. You seem to be so confused that you lack concentration. Let me help to guide you in what to do. Do you all know what we call CAUSTIC SODA? Few cartons of this substance will solve all your problems very fast. Let all the die-hard and leaders including Samura just take few grains of this magic powder every day for one week and the game will be over. No more pain, frustration, fear or worries. There are still a lot of spaces in the cemeteries in Freetown, Kamalo, Makeni, Lunsar, etc to home you. Stop the non-sense and give peace a chance. 7 (seven) years at least, is not a long time to wait by those of you who will remain patient. Politics is not the only means of fraudulently becoming rich. Lonta!
We not dea go court, period
