It would been recalled that the opposition APC agreed to end its non-participation in governance following a peace post-election dialogue in Freetown last Wednesday.

According to a signed agreement released after the three-day dialogue, the APC will end its non-participation in governance, and the President, in consultation with the APC, will constitute a cross-party committee on electoral system and management bodies review.

The agreement also states that the government will release any persons arrested, detained, or imprisoned for alleged election or civil protest informed by the list to be submitted by the APC. Similarly, the government will discontinue all politically motivated court cases against the APC, other parties, and their supporters based on a list to be submitted by the APC and other parties.

The dialogue follows after the APC had previously rejected the June 24 election results, citing significant irregularities and breaches of electoral procedures. As a result, they opted out of participating in governance across various tiers, including the legislature and local councils.
