Sierra Leone’s main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) has rejected results of the 24 June 2023 general elections and called on Sierra Leoneans “to play their part in resisting tyranny and fight for the restoration of democracy, civility and good governance” in the country.

Sitting President Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) has since been sworn in for a second term of five years after the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) declared him winner of the presidential poll with 56.17% of the votes.

The Commission said Dr Samura Kamara, the APC candidate came second with 41.16%.
In its latest statement issued on Friday in Freetown, “the APC unequivocally rejects the announced results of the recently concluded multi-tier elections in Sierra Leone, given the glaring irregularities and violations of established electoral procedures.”

“We demand the resignation of (Chief Commissioner) Mr. Mohamed Konneh and all the other commissioners of the ECSL based on demonstrated bias and failure to conduct their duties impartially,” the APC said, adding: “We insist on a rerun of the elections within six months to be overseen by credible individuals and institutions who will ensure a fair and transparent process.”

The party also “declares its non-participation in any level of governance, including the legislature and local councils, as the results have already been tampered with to give the SLPP an unjust majority at all levels.”

It further “demands the resignation of the following: Fayia Sellu, the Inspector-General of Police; Major General Patrick Lavahun, the Chief of Defence Staff; Abdulai Caulker, the National Security Coordinator; Francis Langumba Keili, the Chief of Staff of the Office of the ONS; and Desmond Babatunde Edwards, the Chief Justice,” alleging that “these individuals have shown a clear disregard for their constitutional duties and have instead aligned themselves with the undemocratic aspirations of (President) Julius Maada Bio.”

The APC also “urges international development partners to impose travel bans on key individuals who have played instrumental roles in stealing the mandate of the Sierra Leonean people,” including re-elected President Maada Bio and his wife, ministers of foreign affairs, information, internal affairs, Chief of defence staff, Inspector General of Police, Coordinator of the Office of National Security, deputy justice minister and the deputy Speaker of parliament.

So losers are always shouting travel ban too in other African countries? Who do Africa people like this?

They will soon start another round of wailing and gnashing of teeth for a supposedly stolen mandate in that country too.

As an opposition politician, to defeat the incumbent, you have to be so so so popular such that even the incumbent no go see draw with any state power they think they might wield.

Buhari is 2014 is damn too popular in the North, if you try any nonsense as an incumbent, the people themselves will send you back to your family in body bags. In the SW, Jagaban hold the forte such that even with PDP rigging in the West, APC still narrowly defeated PDP even with the propaganda of Islamization.

Atiku is not that popular in the North as expected. Obi Kekerenke is only popular in the East and among Northern Christian. Jagaban faced the two region with the most votes NW + SW and that gave him the winning after LP/PDP fullishli shared their votes.

In the NC, Muslims there majorly just thumbprint APC as a natural reaction to Obi religious politics in the Christian middlebelt. Only Benue people saw through the shenanigans and that’s why Tinubu won the NC region.

Be like they don't consult the jagaban of africa.
Failures and their unnecessary rants instead of them to accept defeat. They are busy making excuses like those aggresive set of fellows in my country.

APC is Sierra Leone?

African country leaders are either produced by rigged elections or military coup de tat. Wait o, did I just read APC, anything APC is synonymous with chaos and fraud, either for it or against it. And again, I saw Desmond Babatunde, that should be a yoruba descent, hope Sierra Leone is not an extension of Nigeria Leon?

Imagine... Even in Sierra Leone the people are vehemently rejecting anything APC or it's semblance. If you hear AP just be vigilant, the moment you hear C join am... Run oo.

If it were the version of APC we have over here, the winners would have misteriously found their scores next to the last while the failed APC would miraculously and magically be the winner and some irredeemable parasites will be cheering and defending them.

You don't mean it
