The submission of the eight names by the Tripartite Team namely the SLPP regime, the APC Party and the International Community is the final action before the commencement of investigations into the fraudulent June 24, 2023, general and presidential elections of which the illegal President Julius Maada Bio publicly stole to the chagrin of both internal and all the external stakeholders. Each of them would present eight representatives, according to the Communique signed on 18 October during the Dialogue.

The illegitimate Sierra Leone President Maada Bio and his brutal SLPP state security apparatus stole the June 24 elections in apparent connivance with the crook Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone ECSL Mohamed Kenewui Konneh. Immediately after the disastrous elections, both local and global partners including local elections observers like the National Elections Watch NEW and international elections observers from Africa Union, ECOWAS, European Union, Carter Centre etc. highlighted foul play which led to numerous international sanctions thus sending Bio’s victory into a state of pariah and neglect.

Consequently, there is no international recognition, and no congratulatory messages sent to the illegal Bio up to this day after five months. The latest Investigative Committee to probe the June 24 elections was born out of this electoral mayhem thanks to the three-day Dialogue from October 16 to 18, 2023 witnessed by the African Union AU, ECOWAS, the Commonwealth, the European Union, the US, the UK and so on at the Bintumani Hotel Aberdeen in Freetown. Patriotic Sierra Leoneans are still hopeful that the Tripartite Committee to start work soon shall usher in democracy and restore the people’s votes.

Yet, there are other many Sierra Leone doubting Thomases, otherwise known as the 2018 slaves, who are deliberately aiding and abetting the despotic Maada Bio to stay longer in power. This dangerous campaign to undermine the APC leader Dr Samura Kamara (the only plausible alternative to save Sierra Leone) is been secretly financed by Maada Bio and carried out by certain power-hungry APC Trojan Horses who are hell-bent on undermining the leadership of Dr Samura Kamara and by extension the people of Sierra Leone. These APC traitors including the likes of Sidi Yahya Tunis, Bai Mahmoud Bangura, Chernor Ramadan Maju Bah, Dr Richard Konteh and others, are no longer thinking about the fraudulent 2023 elections but rather ridiculously planning for the 2028 elections.

Nevertheless, the good news is that the international community is ready to restore the people’s mandates in the next six months. Today is the last day for the Tripartite Parties to submit their eight names to the Investigations Committee. Meanwhile, millions of Sierra Leoneans are praying for the Committee to make the correct recommendations to remove Maada Bio and his gang of SLPP thieves from power to save the suffering Sierra Leoneans from going to their graves early.
