The Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) has issued a press release, acknowledging the successful completion of the June 24th multi-tier Elections and addressing various concerns raised in the aftermath of the polls.
Firstly, the ECSL expressed gratitude to all Sierra Leoneans for their peaceful participation in the electoral process, which saw a significant voter turnout across the country.
The Commission also extended appreciation to the Government of Sierra Leone for fulfilling its financial responsibilities, covering over 90% of the election costs. Development partners were also acknowledged for their contributions to the multilateral partners’ fund, supporting civil society organizations and voter education initiatives.
The ECSL emphasized its commitment to transparency and adherence to the law. Accredited Observer Missions were invited to observe the elections, and their final reports are being awaited. While considering the recommendations from these missions, the Commission clarified that it would only act within the boundaries of Sierra Leone’s laws and best practices.
The Electoral Commission firmly maintained that the declared election results reflected the genuine will of the voters, dismissing claims of external influence or coercion on the Chief Electoral Commissioner, Commissioners, or staff. False claims on social media were labeled as malicious and harmful to the country’s democracy.
Despite the generally peaceful conduct of the elections, the ECSL acknowledged the existence of some technical challenges and capacity issues during the process.
The Commission assured the public that it would conduct a thorough review and take steps to strengthen the institution and enhance its responsiveness.
Managing a complex electoral process with over 90,000 personnel and 11,000 stations is no small feat, and the ECSL commended its staff and contract workers for their dedication to ensuring credible election results.
The ECSL encouraged political parties, partners, and citizens to use appropriate and legal channels for addressing any issues or concerns they may have, further demonstrating its commitment to maintaining a fair and transparent electoral system.
In conclusion, the ECSL expressed pride in its service to Sierra Leone and regarded the 2023 elections as one of the most credible, inclusive, and transparent since the reintroduction of multiparty democracy in the country. The Commission extended gratitude to all partners who collaborated in achieving this significant milestone for Sierra Leone’s democracy.
Konneh fork off boooooo
What??????????????????????
Shame on you with your decorated press that doesn’t reflect the outcome and conduct of the elections…..
Mohamed Konneh you think you’re smart enough? You forget to realize the fact that the wicked shall not go unpunished. You will pay for what you have done to us ‘sierra leoneans’ for giving us fake results. How SLPP got 55%, APC got 42% and UDM got 27% which is 123% in an election where we’re looking for 100%? Coconut Ed.
Congratulations Mr Chief Commissioner for an excellent job done. ECSL is the most transparent Electoral institution in the whole world.
Everything Ecsl did na scam
I disagree that the elections were transparent due to the fact that the tabulation and certificatation process were not projected for all observers to follow as stated by the constitution. It will help to clarify people’s concerns by simply publishing the results by polling stations, I don’t think that’s an impossible request. What have the ECSL got to hide, why is it so difficult to publish the results by polling stations.
Please tell ECSL to pay the lower staffs, let them stop to give wrong date
From the Top to the bottom no integrity no reliability how can the youths learn from anyone of you A. P. C and S. L. P .P you both political party doesn’t mean good for our beloved country mama Salone. You will never sit and hear 👂 about any political party except you people since we gain our independence (apc, slpp, apc,slpp). Why can’t you come together at once to bring development in our country at least if you two come together for like 50 yrs or so I believe you can make mama Salone a better home 🏡 for me , you and for all of us even for your own children. Are you tired to pay big money for your children for them to have a better life in their home land . You people have to think really. Also remember the best and the most comfortable place that will suit the Devils is where there is division. THINK 💭
Aaaaaaaaaaa
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
So so lie lie
This statement is malicious, since the ECSL failed to pay their polling staff a month plus after the election. This ECSL seems to be the most useless ECSL this country has ever had. Imagine in 2018 , polling staff were paid just after the election, but ECSL is on social media platforms bosting of their bull 🐂 sh!t. This is really wickedness.
Mr.konneh,you can run,but you cannot hide.Whatever you do to cover-up the mess you have put this nation,will hunt you soon.you collided with your so-called commissioners,especially Edmund Alpha who famously told the nation that you guys will announced the results as you wish and handover the rest to the security forces if any one want to protest against you,but you forgot that,it will tell on you guys o e day,and posterity will hold you guys accountable.
