It paved the way for the creation of a Tripartite Committee on Electoral Systems Review and strengthened platforms for Inter-Party Dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>While the APC has not publicly provided reasons for Dr. Kamara\u2019s replacement, Dr. Marah will now take responsibility for steering the party\u2019s role in the ongoing implementation of the agreement\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Marah was originally part of the APC\u2019s negotiating team but notably declined to sign the final Agreement for National Unity.
