In a recent public notice, the All Peoples Congress (APC) has formally announced its commitment to uphold the Communique signed with the Government of Sierra Leone on October 18, 2023.

The Communique outlined several agreements, including the APC’s decision to end its non-participation in governance.

The APC acknowledges the letters received from the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs, dated October 20, 2023, and October 25, 2023, regarding the inauguration of elected local council representatives. These representatives are to be inaugurated in the following locations and dates:

a. Western Area Rural District Council – Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs at 10 AM.
b. Freetown City Council – Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs at 10 AM.

d. North Western Region – Friday, October 27, 2023, at the Port Loko District Council at 11 AM.

The swearing-in ceremony for the elected local council representatives in the Southern and Eastern Regions will be conducted by the Chief Administrator of the respective councils, in accordance with the law.

This development marks an important step in the APC’s reengagement with governance in Sierra Leone.
