This week may likely be stormy in Sierra Leone as the public is threatening to take to the streets to protest the refusal of the Elections Commission of Sierra Leone ( ECSL ) to release voters registration data for the national elections slated for June 24, 2023.
The People’s Power in Politics ( PPP), a pressure group whose leader Adebayor is based in Holland has called for a massive sit-home protest tomorrow, Monday, followed by public demonstrations on Tuesday.
There was hope on Friday when it was revealed that ECSL had at last decided to yield to the voices of the people and were releasing the data. But opposition APC official, Dr. Richard Konte, who received the data released by ECSL said it was deficient and had been withdrawn by the very ECSL.
It would seem like the ECSL is not really committed to releasing the demanded date. And the public , through posts on social media are insisting to go into the streets to protest if the data is not released.
