The Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) National Executive Council convened on Saturday, December 16, 2023, nearly six months post the multi-tier elections. The primary focus of the gathering was to address crucial matters pivotal to the progression and expansion of the esteemed political party.

Deputy Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources, Umaru Napoleon, highlighted the transparent nature of the internal assembly, stating, “As is customary, this internal assembly was characterized by open and honest deliberations.” A key outcome of the discussions was the decision to establish a committee with the specific task of formulating a comprehensive plan for inter-party dialogue. This initiative aligns with clause 5 of the Resolutions derived from mediated discussions between the Government of Sierra Leone and the All People’s Congress Party.

During the SLPP NEC meeting, the party extended its encouragement to the government to persist in implementing the Agreement for National Unity. This signifies a collective effort towards fostering unity and cooperation in the political landscape. The party also launched committees dedicated to the review of elections and the Party’s constitution, reflecting a commitment to internal refinement and adaptability.

The move to scrutinize and potentially revise the party’s constitution is indicative of the SLPP’s commitment to staying current and responsive to the evolving political landscape. Such measures are crucial for ensuring the party’s resilience and effectiveness in the face of dynamic challenges.
