I want to let the APC supporters to know that they have no monopoly over violence but others have self control and i also want them to know that they are in minority interms of genuine election in this country APC will never win an election in this country. Haven said that APC is the only party that is not comfortable with the electoral commissioners out of thirteen twelve others are comfortable. My friend go to hell we will not discomfort twelve to satisfy one. Eleven or twelve other parties are okay with the system or their tools while one is not okay with his own tool let them go back to the drawing board and do their home work. The country should not be hold to ransom for just one violent party. We have to move ahead Period.

Are the members of APC the only people in Sierra Leone? What about SLPP supports and other political parties are they not part of Sierra Leone. If the APC thinks the referee is not good for the game, the party should step down from the game, other parties are ready to play the game coming 24th June 2023. Lonta

I beg all Sierra leoneans to stay calm and unite as brothers and sisters, so that peace will prevail in this our beloved country

People of Sierra Leone, there is peace where the truth is been said. The truth is the only thing that can save this nation now. How many political parties are going for the elections, if the one side didn't agree with the referee. The game must be cancelled or another referee must be selected and the game continue that can save peace.

How can an election done in this manner without the people’s voice being heard. This is uncalled for and let put Sierra Leone first
Mohamed Kamara | 2023-06-17 18:22:29

All I know is that APC is not prepared for the election and if that is really true then let them confess that to president Bio. Am sure as a very nice man he will still consider them. Let Samura and his bandits stop threatening the people of Sierra Leone with demonstration. If you unlawfully demonstrate, you face the full force of the law as no one is above the law.

It has come to the notice that their is nothing like democracy in this country because the way things are going is like even the election they are about to conduct is just a protocol observe but nothing like voting can determine the president sir if Bio win this time I strongly believe that presidential regime is ten years in this country nothing can convince me about that I rest my case here

The right thing must be done before going into election

Pls let ECSL work with clean minds to keep the country peaceful if not ECSL has a lot to count on.
Abdulai Abu Bakarr kamara | 2023-06-17 13:50:03

Fellow sierra leoneans, for the sake of peace let democracy prevails. Forget about negative thinking, let's think about the development of this nation and our children . We are 97 miles away to development and 3 miles to hell fire. So if war broke out in this small nation then, where are we
| 2023-06-17 13:38:40

Those who are saying they are ready to die probably never witnessed the 12 years of war. We must remember that the international community is overwhelmed with putting out fires in many nations around the world and there is economic hardship all over the world. If we willfully enter into armed conflict, help will not come soon and the suffering people are complaining now will seem like heaven when the hardship of war hits. So my people let’s keep the peace please. Politics is a game. Don’t take it too personal.

Where was samura and the APC when this whole process Started , the appointment, the registration of voters, exhibition, and distributions of ID cards.Is know you guys know Mohamed konneh is not qualified bo please let us have this elections and forgot about it

Samura Kamara wants to make Sierra Leone so ungovernable for inoccent Sierra Leoneans and the war he is wishing for him and his people will never be. God never created you to be a president and in the first place you don't have leadership qualities and you don't have the charisma to lead Sierra Leoneans. During the time of Ernest Bai Koroma 2012 election when the SLPP were not satisfied with Christiana Thorpe as commissioner but the APC said they want her and they were well pleased with her and she did everything in the favour of them. Why can't you leave the people to rule? Were you not satisfied with the eleven years you ruled for and all the stealings you did? You talking about bread and butter whilst other nations are moving forward with good initiatives and you are still satisfying the stomach. Let's tie our stomach and think of development and legacies to leave with our children coming behind us. Satisfying the stomach you can't get nothing to show your children tomorrow. President Bio again coming June 24,2023. President Bio after U na U. Congratulations to you Mr President Bio in advance. Kandeh Yumkellah is a visioneer. He knows what he is doing. Yumkellah anywhere you go we are behind you. Our next president 2028 to come under the party of SLPP. BRAVO SIR MR YUMKELLAH 🏃🏃🏃🏃. June 24, MR PRESIDENT......

| 2023-06-17 09:43:41

We strongly support ECSL’s boss’ decision to remain in his legally appointed position with his personnel. Samura and his supporters are poised to derail economic and educational progress in the country as evident by some of their poor grammar in their comments here. We vehemently say no to Samura and APC! No way, no how!!
Kontekeh | 2023-06-17 09:36:46
