Parliamentary members of Sierra Leone’s main opposition, All People’s Congress (APC) could lose their seats in the next 15 days if they fail to appear in the well.
As it is, runners up could replace the 53 APC MPs who decided to follow their party’s directive to boycott government and governance.
The APC party made this decision due to disagreement with the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) over June 2023 elections result.
The main opposition refused to accept the June results citing that the data given by the ECSL is not tandem with the reality. The party had since called on the ECSL to release results by polling stations as one of their demands.
The ECSL Chief Electoral Commissioner, Mohamed Konneh said in a meeting with Political Parties in July that the Commission conducted the elections with the ambit of the law.
He said the country’s Public Election Act does not compel them to release results by polling stations but rather by districts.
The Commission announced Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) as winner in the presidential polls with over 57 percent thereby escaping runoff against his main contender, Dr. Samura Kamara of the APC.
Meanwhile, the Deputy National Secretary General of the APC, Osman Abdal Timbo told Voice of America (VOA) that they have issued a six month ultimatum to the government to either provide data by polling stations or redo the elections.
As it is, there is currently a no love lost relationship between the main opposition and the ruling SLPP.
I suppose the result announced for the presidential was 56.17, not 57 as alleged in this write-up. My humble submission for fact check please
You nHave wasted time to do so….We the people that voted them said it categorically clear that they should not go there… So go on without even the 15 days period…. Idiot and suffering adminstration…in the name of power undemocratically..

Secret from the close circle of Maada Bio states that he gave 5 million dollars to Mohamed Konneh to rigged the election for him. Mohamed collected the money and now he’s planning to resign and flies overseas to enjoy the money with his family.

Let them lose their seats but they are going to the well of parliament. SLPP take everything.
APC elect MPs need to go take their seats in parliament. This is democracy! Staying behind cannot add anything to APC collars! Nor will it stop government from doing their business.
But I know my brothers in APC, they’ll wait till the last minute and show up!😝😝
SLPP you have started with your Government, so continue with it.
But you didn’t stated what will happen to APC
