In the wake of Sierra Leone’s recent contested election results and the SLPP Government securing a second term amid allegations of electoral impropriety, the main opposition, All Peoples Congress Party (APC) has taken a firm stance.
The party has issued a directive instructing its elected officials, including Members of Parliament, Mayors/District Chairpersons, and Councillors, not to participate in the governance of the current SLPP-led Government, which they believe came to power under questionable circumstances.
However, this directive has triggered controversy and internal strife within the APC as two prominent figures, Hon. Mohamed Bangura and Alfred Thompson, have chosen to collaborate with an unrecognized government entity within Sierra Leone’s Parliament. Their decision has drawn the ire of many APC members.
In response to what some perceive as a breach of party discipline and principles, Hon. Mohamed Bangura and Alfred Thompson are now set to face the APC Disciplinary and Grievance Committee.
The summoning of these two individuals underscores the seriousness with which the APC regards their actions.
