Dr. Baba Kandeh, the embattled Chairman of the People’s Liberation Party (PLP), has disclosed that he would take legal action against the Chairman of the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC), Abdulai Bangurah to protect his integrity.

According to him, the commission failed to settle the matter brought before the them since 2018 when he was complained by members of his party.

He accused the chairman of not being just to him by supporting the party members including the party Youth Leader who reported him on the grounds that he was not calling meetings and that he was using his family members and house for his selfish desire.

He pointed out that, the PPRC Chairman legitimised those that lodged his complaint asking them to take the party to Lower-Level elections and subsequently go to convention without him as the Chairman of the party.

He added that, regarding the party’s delegates list submitted to the Commission as fake, pointing out that it composed names were selected only from Freetown.

The Chairman alleged that, he had tried to reach the leadership of the PPRC on phone but his effort yielded no fruit as the Chairman could not pick up his calls.

He added that it has come out clear that the PRPC could not mediate to settle their party issue all these years, noting that he would use the best option which is to go to court.

In his reply, the Chairman of PPRC, Abdulai Bangurah (Esq) described the utterances of Dr. Kandeh as a serious allegation against him which he said is very unfair to the Commission as well as explaining the side of the commission.

“I inherited this matter in June, 2019 when I got my appointment to lead the Commission,” he said, adding that, there were complaints against Dr. Kandeh that, he was using members of his family instead of party members to represent the party.

He stressed that when he took over office, he tried to mediate but the atmosphere was not conducive due to the in fights within the party stressing that his doors are still open to Dr. Baba Kandeh to seek redress.

It could be recalled that in 2018, PLP did not make much impact because of the internal rancour and it is foreseen that it will not take part in the Presidential election come June 24th unless they reconcile their differences, for which many of the party members and top ranked members are rolling out strategies to have the situation put under control.
