Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio presided over the coronation of twelve newly elected Paramount Chiefs. During the event, President Bio made a crucial announcement regarding Sierra Leone\u2019s political future, stating that the next Presidential, Parliamentary, and Local Council Elections will be held in 2028. This declaration comes amidst swirling rumors and political tensions within the country.<\/p>\n

President Bio\u2019s address also served as a stern warning to certain \u201cpolitical big guns\u201d who have been spreading misinformation about an imminent election rerun.<\/p>\n

He urged these individuals to cease their activities, emphasizing the falsehood of their claims. The rumors in question have been propagated by members of the main opposition All People\u2019s Congress (APC) Party, who allege that the recently established Tripartite Committee\u2019s purpose is to facilitate a rerun of the June 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

These allegations were publicly refuted by the U.S. Ambassador, a key figure in the formation of the Tripartite Committee. The Ambassador clarified on public radio that the committee\u2019s inception was a response to concerns regarding the conduct of the June 2023 elections, not to mandate a rerun.<\/p>\n

The Tripartite Committee, consisting of representatives from the opposition APC, the ruling Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP), and the government, is currently tasked with reviewing the country\u2019s electoral systems and management bodies. Their report is expected to be presented to President Bio next month.<\/p>\n

In his speech, President Bio reinforced Sierra Leone\u2019s commitment to democratic principles, stating, \u201cSierra Leone is a democratic state where state leaders are elected through the ballot box and not by any other means. So, if you want to come to power with the bullet, you will be met with the bullet. In this country, the next presidential, parliamentary, and local council elections will be held in 2028.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s remarks highlight his administration\u2019s dedication to maintaining democratic processes and ensuring political stability in Sierra Leone. As the Tripartite Committee continues its work, the nation anticipates its findings and recommendations, which are expected to shape the future of Sierra Leone\u2019s electoral framework.<\/p>\n
