RUFP Presidential Candidate Warns APC, SLPP on Election Violence
The Presidential Candidate for the Revolutionary United Front Party (RUFP), Abdulai Saccoh has given stern warning to the All People’s Congress (APC) and Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP).
Saccoh’s admonition came after both parties representatives at the ECSL’s PPLC engagement on the launch of the 2023 election’s campaign accused each other of being violent.
“Sovereignty belongs to the people and if that is so I don’t believe that political parties have the right to disturb any process or political right in this country,” the RUFP Presidential Candidate said.
He added that while they as political parties have the right to canvass people to vote for them, the same cannot be said about inciting violence.
“It is the people of this country that matter and not the political parties.
“I’m talking to the two political parties that have been in power in this country since the 60s because violence has always come from them,” he said.
He prodded the ECSL and PPRC to be assertive and use the law to punish political parties who might want to disturb the peace.
Meanwhile, there was a disagreement between Dr. Richard Konteh of the APC and Ambassador Dr. Kapuwa of the SLPP during the meeting. According to Konteh the SLPP were behind the attacks of their members in Kenema and Pujehun.
Kapuwa vehemently denied the allegations while asking the APC to report the matter to the police with their evidences.
APC is a dying horse that is doing the last wag of its tail. If they are not ready they are welcome to leave the political stage.
APC party is the most violence party in this country even they always disturb our peace ✌️ in the country
The only hope for the SLPP is to create intimidation using state institutions . These institutions will not stop the wish of the majority and , any attempt using state institutions to mussle or create fear during election day will not organ well for our country because the people’s power will rise to defend , preserve, and protect their democratic rights on that day.
I believe Slpp is the lame horse and must leave the political race.The nation not Apc is against themmohamed [email protected]
