The All People’s Congress member of Parliament of the Northern District of Tonkolili, Hon. Aaron Arun Koroma has on Wednesday 25th October 2023 in the town of mile 91 ended a day engagement with residents of Constituency 048 in the Yoni Chiefdom on the outcome of the post-election dialogue that ended the political stalemate in the country.

During the meeting, Hon Koroma clarified why he and all elected APC Members of Parliament, Mayors, Chairperson, and Councilors are returning to the House of Parliament to represent their people after their stance of noncompliance in all state functions following the outcome of the country’s last general election was changed.

Firstly, the APC MP said, the party did not go to court because it did not trust the country’s judiciary. On several occasions, Hon Aaron Koroma said the APC has taken countless cases to the judiciary including the one on the outcome of the 2018 presidential elections, but the matter, he said was thrown out of court.

The outcome of the Commission of Inquiries, Census, among other court cases, the lawmaker said are enough reasons why the APC refused to go to court because it’s a waste of time.

As a party, the MP said they used the boycott as a way of registering its disappointment with the outcome of the last election that saw President Maada Bio winning a second term. For them, the MP said the elections were rigged in favor of the incumbent, President Bio.

It was against that backdrop the lawmaker said all of the party’s elected officials refused to occupy their seats or offices.

But now that a team of mediators has intervened and warned that all parties must put aside their differences for a better society, Hon Aaron Koroma told residents they in the APC have agreed to take up their offices or positions.
