Tripartite Committee Debunks Re-Run Election Rumors, States Mandate

Dr. Emmanuel Gaima, government representative in the Tripartite Committee has ddressed recent rumors circulating regarding a potential rerun of Sierra Leone’s June 2023 election.

Dr. Gaima started by stating that the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone Act No 6 stated that there should be a Public Election Act which was amended in 2022 which reads “In an extreme presidential election, anybody who is aggrieved about the outcome has seven working days to make an official complaint in the Supreme Court” adding that since the 2023 election ended, no political party made a formal complaint to the Supreme Court.

He said President Bio being a democratic leader should have chosen to run the state after the main opposition party in parliament boycott the process but chooses to incorporate them.

He said the APC meet with the Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion requesting for a third party to settle their grievance where in international bodies like ECOWAS, AU, etc were brought in where in Dr. Samura Kamara leader of the APC Chief Minister and other stake holders meet at the end signed an Agreement for National Unity which have three resolutions and the third one stated a committee should be established by the president which will be dissolved on the 19th of June 2024.

He stated that the Tripartite Committee is not the competent authority to call for election nor the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone but only the Supreme Court of Sierra Leone adding that the Supreme Court never received any complaint seven days after the election and the rumors going round is a misinformation.

He disclosed that their mandate is to look at election management bodies to asserting their mistakes and things they did right, and the review is covering elections from 2007 unto 2023.

Why are APC supporters so clueless. There will be no rerun of election. You made a coup and your former leader is now in exile. You cannot do anything. Bongo fut.

Gaima may be he is dreaming he is ashame to tell his SLPP supporters the truth.He feels he is the head of the committee and that the international community will spend his money foolishly like that. If there is no re-run why the committee is asking for the past result(2023)result.indeed Gaima is one of the educated FOOLS in the SLPP.

You are not making any sense. How can the opposition party file in a complaint about election rigging to a court that is been rule by the same person that riged the election? what do you expect the judge that is been paid monthly salary to say about such case? if not to support the president and throw the case out of court.

Was there any rerun in 2012 ? During the go police slogan? The Supreme Court have the final decision. Tripartite committee is not a Supreme Court. STOP fooling your support.

What an unfortunate statement coming from the representative of a do nothing and a bogus illegal, illegitimate, a no government at all, and megalomaniacs, who are bent in an attempt in trying to run the affairs of state without the majority of the peoples authority and mandate. Bizarre, I can’t really see how dictator Bio thinks in his dysfunctional brain, about his outdated intention to govern the majority of the population by force and without the tacit consent, approval, and mandate, of the people. I think Bio has not learnt from his immediate past contemporary’s in the likes of late Samuel Kayan Doe of Liberia, & colonel Gaddafi,etc. The unfortunate statement is by these unpatriotic, disgruntled, and greedy, primitive, and uncivilised, useless politicians is declaration of war against the oppressed people of Sierra Leone. Does Bio thinks that he can win a war against the poor & oppressed people of Sierra Leone?. Only time will tell. Many dictators in similar circumstances tried in the past, but all failed. I think dictator Bio, is not an exception, I think he will meet similar fate pretty soon. What a fool. Attempting to run the affairs of state by force shall never and ever succeed. You can not fight your citizens were you derive your power or authority from, that’s foolishness and pure stupidity. I rest my case.

The 1991 constitution says in section 42 (2) (e), "No person shall be elected as president of Sierra Leone unless at the presidential election he has polled not less than 55% of the valid vote in his favour". Let says Bio got 56% without results. Do u think the constitution give mandate to presidency? Do u think the people of Sierra Leone will sit by and allow Bio to rule them b4 Konneh, a party member announced Bio as president, to govern them? The answer is a big NO. What will happen will happen at the end those who are responsible for any war, will be brought to book. People are ready to put an end to election rigging in Sierra Leone. This is the reason 63 years politicians have failed the people because they relied in election rigging rather than service delivery. We go to treat politicians like rebels. They and there families will be burnt alive. Let them try it. We are going to format the entire country. All facet in the country will be cleaned. A word for the wise is quiet sufficient.

SLPP is scare that if a rerun is held today, they are going to loose. That is why this topic is always a thong in their ass. APC will someday get the power and we will show you what you did.

You guys are so funny! You stole the mandate of the people and you want the people to leave you like that.
