The Leader of the All Peoples Congress Party Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara has asked the Sierra Leone Chief Electoral Commissioner to resign within 72 hours. Dr. Samura Kamara made this statement during the APC Party press conference on the 14 June, 2023 at the New Brooks Hotel in Freetown. “I crave your indulgence, patience and understanding to provide you with an exceptionally detailed address on the APC’s Grave Concerns Over Mr Mohamed Konneh of ECSL and Our Security Forces’s efforts in Undermining Electoral Integrity of tye June 24, 2023 polls, and the Potential for Instability in Sierra Leone. Ten days from today, on 24th June, 2023, Sierra Leone is scheduled to hold its fifth democratic elections during our post conflict period. These elections are extremely important to everyone in Sierra Leone. They are about bringing in a new ERA and allowing the people of Sierra Leone at home and abroad to make their democratic choices of Presidential, parliamentary and local government leadership. They are about us politicians giving democratic space, peace and security to those making these choices irrespective of party politics, tribal or regional affiliations, gender and religion. They are about giving the people of Sierra Leone ample opportunity to choose between two First, it is the system which we have experienced over the last five years and which is characterized by various documented human rights abuses, stifling of opposition voices, a shrinking of the people’s democratic space, open tribal divide, regional marginalisation and widespread unprovoked, unexplained and uninvestigated political violence. This situation has led to mass killings, molestation, harassment, and police brutality against the citizenry across the country. It is a system that has woefully failed the people, economically, socially and politically. The second system is one that gave way to the leadership of the first system, with which every Sierra Leonean is now tired of and is therefore ready to pay the ultimate price, provide their resources and energy for a big bang change back to the second system. This second system has a positive and envied track record of a strong focus on national development; on improving the lives and livelihoods of all Sierra Leoneans without looking for tribe or region; on respecting human rights and the rule of Law; and on ensuring that every Sierra Leonean is protected and secure. This, in 2018, allowed a smooth democratic transfer of power to the first system whose leader wouldn’t want to let go much against the WILL of the people. I know you have all been eagerly waiting to hear from me, it has been a very hectic few weeks but I thank God for supernatural strength and favour! What God cannot do does not exist! Fellow Sierra Leoneans It has been a tough 5 years for all of us – the young, the old, the women, the traders and their businesses, the transporters, the teachers and students, the police and military officers, the temnes, the mendes, the fullahs and yalunkas, the kurankos and limbas, the susus and the krios, the lokos and all other tribes. The misery and suffering we have endured in the last five years know no boundaries. They have pushed us too far, enough is enough! The ballot box should be the answer to the people’s choice but as we can all see from the actions so far of The ECSL it is obvious that they have something else up their sleeves. Our APC campaign in particular, has been subjected to police and military intimidation/ molestation/embarrassment/ brutality and stress. Our supporters in the Southeast have borne the brunt of this hostility. But guess what, God has seen us through it all and he will continue the work He has started to a well-deserved end for us. As is common knowledge, the Military and the Police are meant to serve and protect the people and they must in no way be politically biased but we are seeing otherwise. The people of Sierra Leone are sending a message as they have tried to do in many occasions but have been cast aside like trash! Out of the millions of ID cards ECSL produced, 90% are so badly printed ! No one has been brought to Justice for such an injustice to the people of Sierra Leone. The people are asking why has nothing been done about it?! Why has ECSL chosen to ignore all correspondences sent to them. Mr Konneh has chosen to ignore all correspondences maybe because of ‘orders from above’. We will not accept Ballot boxes loaned embarrassingly from our neighboring countries. We should be told why we cannot procure from our own resources or from donor support new sealed Boxes? I am assuring all Sierra Leoneans that I will do everything in my power to ensure an improved life. So please stick with me and by me, and you will see the difference as the second system which we all knew and benefited from in the immediate 10 years and which will reemerge on June 24th, 2023. Before God, we are one people and one nation! My Responsibility to the youths: Please abstain from violence and from this rampant use of Drugs. You are all in my thoughts and in my plans! We will get you off the streets! But you have to desire more for yourselves! These elections on 24th June, 2023 are therefore not about Samura Kamara per se neither must they be about a second term for President Julius Maada Bio, Paopa. They are about building a better future for Sierra Leone and, who can best secure this!!! It is with a sense of utmost urgency and deep concern that I am addressing you regarding the loss of integrity of the electoral processes in Sierra Leone and the dangers it poses to the unity, peace, democracy and stability of Sierra Leone. As you may recall, over the past five years, the APC, along with other members in the Consortium of Progressive Political Parties (CoPPP), has diligently
