In a fiery address during the party’s Parliamentary Press Conference on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at Railway Line in Freetown, Lawyer Lansana Dumbuya, National Secretary General of the All Peoples Congress (APC) party, lambasted Mohamed Konneh, head of the Electoral Commission Sierra Leone (ECSL), for statements deemed detrimental to the nation’s peace and stability.

Dumbuya characterized Konneh’s recent remarks, asserting adherence to electoral protocols and dismissing the need for post-election result publication, as deeply troubling for Sierra Leoneans. He accused Konneh of exacerbating national issues, attributing current challenges to the ECSL’s alleged mishandling of the June 24, 2023, Presidential and general elections.

“This fight transcends party lines—it’s about defending democracy and ensuring every voice counts,” Dumbuya asserted, urging patience as investigations continue. He criticized the ECSL’s conduct under Konneh’s leadership, suggesting it disenfranchised voters and undermined electoral integrity.

The country faces unprecedented hardships, and the APC stands ready to restore stability and prosperity,” Dumbuya affirmed, advocating for electoral reforms to safeguard democratic principles
