Dr. Kandeh Yumkella, the former parliamentary leader and founder of Sierra Leone’s National Grand Coalition (NGC) party, expressed his disappointment with the outcome of the June 24 presidential and general election in a recent statement on his Twitter feed.

He raised concerns about the political opportunities available to smaller parties due to the proportional representation (PR) threshold imposed by the Electoral Commission.

In his tweet, Dr. Yumkella acknowledged the multitude of challenges and constraints faced by the NGC Salone during the election but emphasized that the party had given its best effort.

“The final results released by the EC Salone show that the PR threshold posed significant limitations on the political opportunities available to smaller parties. Despite the multitude of challenges and constraints we encountered, the NGC Salone gave its best effort,” he stated.
