As Samura Kamara Breaks Silence… APC Plans to boycott all level of Governance
By Kelvin Jay
Presidential Candidate of the All People’s Congress Party, Samura Kamara, has broken silence in his tweeter page, saying that he cannot accept the fabricated figures from ECSL, pointing out that democracy is participatory and the will of the people must be respected.
“Democracy is participation and representation- the will of the people must be respected. The majority voice must be heard. We cannot accept fabricated figures”, Samura Kamara tweets, maintaining that what is not in doubt, unlike the results announced by the Returning Officer Mr. Mohamed K Konneh of ECSL is that the West stands for democracy and Western Nations will stand up to protect democracy in Sierra Leone.
He further insisted that All votes MUST be counted in a “transparent and accountable manner” and also rejected the results, which according to him, does not reflect the will of the people.
“On June 24 SierraLeoneans came out and voted en masse for change. Their democratic rights to choose and to be represented by a legitimate government must not only be respected but protected. I support our international partners – demanding transparency and accountability “, he concluded.
Toeing the line of Samura Kamara, the All People’s Congress(APC) in a press statement dated 30th June,2023, has 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.
The party declares its non-participation in all levels 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.
They also demand resignation of Mr.Mohamed Konneh and all the other Commissioners of the ECSL based on their demonstrated bias and failure to conduct their duties impartially and also insists for 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 APC concludes by calling for the imposition of travel bans on key individuals including President Julius Maada Bio; the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, David Francis, the Chief Minister, Jacob Jusu Saffa; the Deputy Minister of Justice, Umaru Napoleon Koroma; the Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, David Moinina Sengeh; the Press Secretary Keketoma Sandi; the Minister of Information, Mohamed Rahman Swarray; the Minister of Internal Affairs, David Panda Noah and his deputy Lahai Lawrence Leema, the First Lady Mrs. Fatima Maada Bio, the Deputy Speaker Sengepoh Solomon Thomas and Dr. Prince Alex Harding.
