Sierra Leone on brink of chaos as Elections Commission refuses to release voters registration data : Mass demonstrations threatened this week

June 11, 2023 Publisher and Chief Executive Officer KABS KANU ACTION NEWS, COMMENTARY 0

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 Richard Konte, who received the data released by ECSL  said it was deficient and had been withdrawn by the very ECSL.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.

APC should send a petition to ECSL, setting forth, in polite language errors in their releases and asking for corrections.

John Leigh they did that several times. Initially the mendecrat ECSL refused to respond or even meet with APC party officials. Mohamed Konneh was very defiant and acted as if his family owned the country and the party was doing him a favor.

Mohamed Turay, next is to put all your Petitions together plus the mendecratic response and send the package to the agents of our MGNs.
