2023 Election: Opposition Party APC Threatens Nationwide Protest.
The main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party has promised to organize a nationwide peaceful protest if the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) fails to address its concerns.
The APC made this statement in a press release dated 11th May 2023 after raising issues to the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone which the party considers as irregularities and demands urgent address.
“The All People’s Congress having highlighted the many concerns to be addressed in the next few days wants to put the ECSL on notice that if the ECSL fails to address these issues within the time stated, the party will exercise its constitutional right to call for a nationwide peaceful protest to demonstrate its dissatisfaction”.
The press release stated that the APC notes with utter dismay the substandard and mediocre Voter Identification Cards that the ECSL have issued out to voters for the June 24th, 2023 elections adding that the APC is cognizant of the fact that the ECSL is inter alia charged with the responsibility to conduction national elections with the mandate to registered voters, verification of voters eligibility, produce voter identification cards and the preparation of ballot papers and other electoral material for voters.
The secretary General is calling all comrades to destroy their voter identification card, burn it
