Leader and 2023 Presidential Candidate of Sierra Leone’s opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Dr Samura Kamara has said the ongoing post-election dialogue must produce a path to restoring democracy and the people’s ‘stolen votes’.
Kamara made this statement while addressing delegates and participants at the ongoing peace dialogue in Freetown. He mentioned that his party will present their position paper including evidence to the committee, expressing hope that the dialogue will restore democracy and the people’s vote.
“Let me state clearly that our people are curiously waiting to see the outcome of this dialogue, that has to be a path to restoring democracy and the people’s voten. To bring him back the stolen votes. This is what our leadership (APC) stands for.” Kamara said.
“In this dialogue, we are faced with two important scenarios, going forward. As a passionate but neutral commentator indicated to me, the easy path for us both is to stay in our entrenched positions and to dig deeper to fight only for the outcome each party believes is right for itself.
“For the APC to move on, it is important to look back and recognise the democratic injustice to the citizens within the context of a hastily installed illegitimate administration as if all is normal.
“For the SLPP to move on, it is important to look forward while recognising the injustice of an electoral coup against the citizens and how this can be peacefully mitigated for now and into the future.
“Our position is not about the interest of individuals or just about the APC but the interest of Sierra Leone. For us, our interest has always been and will continue to be, the peace, stability and development of Sierra Leone
“Until our demands are met and the disaggregated data released by the ECSL, there is currently no winner or loser. For this dialogue, therefore, we are meeting with colleagues of an illegitimate administration.
“The questions which all of us -meaning Sierra Leoneans are asking Mr. Konneh and his team are: Why is the ECSL refusing to publish the disaggregated data by polling stations? What are they hiding and who are they working for? What audacity do they have to deny the request of the people of Sierra Leone?”
This is a developing story. More details shortly…
Yes sir
Samura Kamara you speak the truth we the people of Sierra Leone we need our votes, Bio did not win June 24 election
Very powerful statement, sir…
Samurai did not want peace , were did u expect another result EU have not yet gave u the report
Well done that’s a stands our future leader to be
Let him produce his results…
Samura Kamara must be very stupid to say that. How can you talk about something stolen from you which you never had in the first place had? If Samura has evidence then let him provide to support his claim which in actual fact he does not have. He is really a very stupid man.
False information
I will pray to Allah that we succeed to this fight Aamen Ya Allah 🙏
You are the very stupid Man to say so
Very good
Good
Bravo to u sir we the people of Sierra Leone need our vote that has been stolen by maada bio and his cabinet
The dialogue today holds the people’s faith, the outcome will determine whether or not democracy is a must. National interest against individual or political interest.. I only hope ECSL is present with Commissioner Konneh leading the team. Sierra Leoneans are of the strongest conviction that the announced elections does not in any way represent their will.. We need answers from ECSL and the Bio led regime.
Bring back the people’s vote to restore democracy to Mama Salone.
Samura kamara is a replica of Donald trump
Samura u still want dis golden sit😂🤣. Bt it’s too late now, as u do not have any events that President Bio rigged dis election pa😜
Just wasting time. Nothing good is going to come out with such demands.
Any person that in support of madaa Bio is a really enemy to this country.
Justice delays justice Denise
God will bless you sir.
Is like this guy is drunk again. This old man is still dreaming of being the president.
I wanted to know if APC is the only party in SL? APC na so so fool man dem da.
We learn when we listen and observe. Even in this comment section, if you want to know where people stand in a topic. And the majority, check for or against a topic. That way you will know where things stand. As we do believe in democracy, it should attest to majority carries the vote. So if the government/ ECSL is to do a survey and ask who want disaggregated polling results, the answer they get from the survey will be a benchmark for peace in Sierra Leone
But all this they know already. The government and ECSL want to use an omittion in our constitution that never indicated that they should produce disaggregated polling results. But if this results want to lead the country into chaos and you know you did the right thing , why not release them? After all you got nothing to lose or fear. Unless otherwise you manipulated the polling results. In that case ECSL konneh will be quoting the Constitution that there is no section that tell him to release them. Is good today for the SLPP. But if the table turns, you set the precedent .
Samura kamara and the entire APC Tolongbo tollgate Apcian PPP are still confused,2028 is not too far for the next coming election, before u start your campaign now, you cannot but still engaged in Serious idleness ,at the end of the day,u keep on blaming people they have stolen.6
God bless Samura kamara.
Our president whom is the choice of the people of sierra Leone.
All we need is our stolen votes to be brought back!
The One Million Dollars question is that why is Konneh and his team refusing to publish the disaggregated data by polling stations? I believe this has never happened before, so why are they bent on setting bad precident?
May Allah bless you sir
And you think all Sierra Leoneans are in for this of your madness, APC has nothing good for this country. Samura was never made to be a President and no matter what you does he will never be
Even if election is conducted today Maada will still defeat him.
Why is Samura talking about evidence today when they had refused to present such evidence in court? This is just nonsensical by all objective standards.
ECSL didn’t even have data of staff who worked on the 24th June elections.
If it has, why ECSL is calling for verifications. For the past decades, this has not happened in this country.
Apc stands with the people voice.God bless Dr samura an the mighty Apc.
God bless the international bodies
See drunkenness at the highest degree and I don’t understand what type of data they’re asking for let me guess maybe it their way to he’ll they wanted to know about. See munku
If David sengeh is defending ECSL that, there is no law in our constitution that forced the ECSL to publish disaggregated data,then in the same constitution, there is no law that say,if ECSL publish the disaggregated data is a crime.Let’s not forget,the EU in their report of 2018,this was part of their recommendations for the ECSL to published disaggregated data,which he Maada received in 2018 to reformed NEC/ECSL.Posterity will judge you(SLPP)for wanting to pluch our nation into another chaos.
ECSL are the most corrupted people in Sierra Leone and we are praying for democracy,if we don’t put a stop to this it will continue and will never stop, what is the big deal for you to publish the data?you are working for someone i guess because if you are working for the people of Sierra Leone you should have publish it as asked by us the citizens.
Sierra Leone is a country with no future and for us the young ones we really need to do something if not those old wicked and heartless people will continue ruining our future
We need transparency and accountability for our stolen votes.
Give to Ceaser what belongs to him. Allah over everything
We need your stolen result from konneh
This SLPP government is full of kakistokrats. They are just forcing themselves on us, but they are not competent to run the day to day affairs of Sierra Leone. They are all theives and criminals indisguise.
God will surely punish them for the wrongs they are doing in this nation
Samura, you’re still sleeping please doctor sengeh help me to wake him up
Mr Konneh give what belongs to the people of Sierra Leone if not the people of Sierra will never forgive you
