The Deputy Chairman of the main opposition All People’s Congress, Ambassador Dr. Osman Foday Yansaneh has warned against election rigging.
Yansaneh who served as APC Secretary General warned that election rigging could lead to violence in a state.
“When these elections show any malpractice, the integrity of the democratic process is compromised, leading to a range of negative consequences that can have severe and lasting impacts on nation and its people,” he said.
He added that election malpractice undermines the good tenets of democracy in any state.
“When a political party or candidate manipulates the outcome of an election, they are essentially subverting the will of the people and imposing their own agenda on the population,” the APC Deputy Chairman noted.
This recent remarks by Yansaneh is believed to be within similar context of that of an earlier criticism made by the Party’s Secretary General, Lansana Dumbuya against the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone.
Dumbuya criticised the Commission for producing substandard electoral ID cards while condemning certain features. He also warned the Commission to conduct a credible election or otherwise send the country into chaos.
Sierra Leone will go to the polls in a multitier election on 24 June 2023. The incumbent Julius Maada Bio will face the APC’s Samura Kamara for the third time after defeating him twice by narrow margins in 2018.
Both candidates are optimistic of winning the election without runoff as the country’s electoral laws warrant a second round if any of the candidates fail to secure a 55 percent of total valid votes in the first round.
Only APC rigs elections and that is why they are now scared of rigging. SLPP always truly wins elections including the upcoming one. So Mr so called stupid ambassador Yansanneh relax better in opposition and sleep more if you can. Because you are now permanent in opposition decreed by Allah.
APC have you forgotten when Christiana Thorpe uttered ” GO POLICE”, before the Annoncement of the 2012 Presidential and Legislative elections result. The SLPP did not cause violence or call for violence to disturb the peace of the nation. SLPP is a respectable party they don’t rigg élections, so APCIANS go to hello.
It’s seems like the Word From A Wise Man is quite Sufficient ooooo……..
Please 🙏 Let’s be caution ⚠️
APC seem uncomfortable lately,
I don’t think they can handle a situation of loosing.are you guys that desperate.
Please let go to the pools and stop the threats
Definitely this country will go in to chaos if Mohamed Konneh fails to do the right thing. The citizens are well prepared to wage war if Mohamed divert the will of the people to a government that is irresponsible. Our minds are set to target the judiciary, ECSL, police and PPRC on any attempt to mess with Mama Salone’s feature. This country has got the right political slave who has served in various capacities to move this country to a smiling stage and any attempt will lead to war. Dr. Samura be rest assured that this government will go whether they like it or not. I was born and raised in the south, but the behavior of our southerner brothers are not good.
What goes up must come down. The only way for APCians to win election is rigging. S L P P is differ from that. I believe have smell defeat. After voting on election day (24 June) go home and rest. If you try you remain to forget it. We want total peace if you mess up with our peace you will see it oooooo
