In Sierra Leone, a resounding call for progress and equity echoes through the nation as the APC grassroots and the people unite in their fervent advocacy for gender balance and competence in the decision-making process. Their unwavering demand is that party leadership and the esteemed National Advisory Council (NAC) carefully select members for the Committee on Electoral Systems and Management Bodies Review.

This committee, guided by a tripartite leadership structure, bears the critical responsibility of delving into the intricacies of electoral systems, structures, and procedures. It is dedicated to investigating the alleged irregularities surrounding the June 2023 multi-tier elections. However, the committee’s mandate extends beyond examination.

Drawing wisdom from past electoral experiences, it’s entrusted with the crucial task of addressing contentious issues within elections and results management. This encompasses a meticulous approach to data collation and verification, authentication, and transparent publication, all aligned with internationally recognized best practices.

The ultimate objective remains crystal clear: to fortify the credibility of Sierra Leone’s future elections, ensuring they shine as symbols of fairness and liberty, cherished by every citizen. In this collective pursuit, the people of Sierra Leone stand united, striving for a brighter democratic future. Courtesy: By Andrew Kamara.
