The All People’s Congress (APC) has announced the return of its elected representatives to Parliament and Local Councils across Sierra Leone, while simultaneously calling on the government to fulfil outstanding commitments under the Agreement for National Unity.
In a public statement, the main opposition party said the decision follows the communiqué issued by the International Moral Guarantors after their recent joint assessment mission in Sierra Leone.
According to the APC, its Members of Parliament will resume participation at the next sitting of Parliament, while councillors representing the party in Local Councils have been directed to immediately return to their duties.
The party said the move reflects its commitment to the peace process and to recommendations contained in the communiqué, particularly calls for the opposition to fully re-engage in governance institutions at all levels.
While confirming its return, the APC urged the government to take prompt action on key elements of the national unity agreement.
Among the measures requested, the party called for the immediate laying before Parliament of both the Agreement for National Unity and the Tripartite Committee Report, stating that such action would promote transparency, legitimacy and broader public ownership of the implementation process.
The APC also appealed for the urgent establishment of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, which it said is essential to review the electoral cycle, improve preparedness and guide reforms ahead of the 2028 general elections.
According to the party, these steps form part of a wider roadmap intended to rebuild trust, strengthen democratic institutions and ensure inclusive governance.
The APC reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement, accountability and reforms aimed at delivering credible elections and national stability.
However, it stressed that the success of the process depends on both sides honouring their obligations in a timely and sincere manner.
The party further called on the government, Parliament and oversight bodies to act responsibly in implementing all agreed measures.
The development is expected to restore full opposition participation in governance and could mark a fresh phase of political engagement between the ruling government and the main opposition party.
