The Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) has asked the Elections Monitoring Committee of the All People’s Congress (APC) to put on hold its District Executive Elections which should have been held on Thursday 19 January 2023.
The reason for this, the PPRC notes, is because it “is in receipt of several petitions, from almost all of the sixteen electoral districts in the country, save for Bombali, Moyamba, and Kailahun so far, relative to the conduct and outcome” of the party’s Constituency Executive elections.
“Consequent upon the above, the TIIEMC is advised to put on hold the District Executive Elections slated for tomorrow Thursday 19 January 2023, till the aforementioned petitions are heard and determined. This also serves to inform all petitioners, the chairman and secretary of the ITGC, and the chairman and district focal persons of the TIIEMC that, the petitions will be heard on Friday 20 January 2023 at the conference room of the Commission at Tower Hill in Freetown at 10 a.m. and are accordingly invited”, the PPRC says.
