Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Sierra Leone dispersed members of the opposition National Grand Coalition (NGC) party who gathered in Freetown on Friday for a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.<\/b><\/p>\n

The meeting was reportedly intended to confirm the NGC\u2019s withdrawal from its alliance with the ruling Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP). This comes after a disagreement within the NGC regarding the continuation of the alliance.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a founding member of the NGC, Mohamed Koroma, issued a warning against withdrawing from the alliance. The warning was delivered through a legal representative, stating that the NEC meeting convened by Acting Chairman Jesmed M. Suma was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Koroma warned that only the National Delegate Conference (NDC) could make decisions of this kind.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that a \u201cprogressive alliance\u201d was formed between the SLPP and NGC prior to the 2023 general elections. This alliance was formalized in a ceremony on April 23, 2023, with the agreement document endorsed by Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella, former NGC leader, and President Maada Bio of the SLPP.<\/p>\n

The agreement promised NGC members ministerial positions and other key roles in exchange for their support in the elections. In alignment with this agreement, the NGC refrained from introducing a presidential candidate for the 2023 elections and also abstained from contesting in parliamentary and local council seats within SLPP strongholds.<\/p>\n

However, following the SLPP\u2019s victory, only the former NGC leader Kandeh Yumkella received a government position. This has led to dissatisfaction within the NGC, with some members calling for a withdrawal from the alliance.<\/p>\n
