In a significant collaboration, the Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion (ICPNC), together with the Commonwealth and ECOWAS, has initiated a series of productive dialogues involving key stakeholders in Sierra Leone.
These pivotal discussions featured engagements with the delegation from the All People’s Congress Party, led by Party Leader Dr. Samura Kamara, and the Government delegation, under the leadership of Chief Minister Honourable Dr. David Sengeh.
The team held constructive talks with notable figures, including the Honourable Vice President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohammed Juldeh Jalloh, Former President His Excellency Ernest Bai Koroma, representatives from the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone, and Mr. Abdulai Caulker, National Security Coordinator at the Office of National Security.
Moreover, the team paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Rid. Brigadier Dr. Julius Maada Bio, the President of Sierra Leone.
These initial interactions signal the commencement of a broader framework for mediated dialogue between the government and the All People’s Congress Party, aimed at addressing the emerging issues arising from the June 2023 general elections.
The ICPNC team lauds the demonstrated willingness of all parties to pursue consensus and foster dialogue. They fervently encourage these parties to persist on this path, working collaboratively towards the shared objective of securing a just, peaceful, and cohesive Sierra Leone.
