Government, APC Executives Hold High Level Talks on Electoral Reform Concerns

The Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion (ICPNC) has facilitated a high-level roundtable discussion between the executive of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Hon. Alpha Sesay, as part of ongoing efforts to address electoral reform concerns.
The meeting, convened by the Commission, was held at the New Brookefields Hotel and brought together government officials and APC representatives for what participants described as frank and constructive engagement. The discussions focused on concerns raised by the APC following the 24 June 2023 Presidential Election.
According to the ICPNC, the issues discussed stem from concerns that culminated in the formation of the Tripartite Committee and the development of its recommendations.
Deliberations centred on the implementation of those proposals, with particular attention to census credibility, transparency in electoral processes, voter registration challenges, and cartographic exercises.
The APC delegation also raised concerns over the recent appointment of Mr. Edmund Sylvester Alpha as Chief Electoral Commissioner of the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone. Mr. Alpha was sworn into office on 3 March 2026 by President Julius Maada Bio at State House in Freetown.
