Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Leadership of the All Peoples Congress (APC) Interim Transitional Governance Committee (ITGC) has brought to the attention of the Office of National Security, Sierra Leone Police, Political Parties Registration Commission, Local and International Elections observers and other Democratic Institutions the occurrence of serious violence and physical attacks launched against a good number of our party supporters and their families in Bendugu Town, Sambaia Chiefdom, Constituency 056 on May 22, 2022.APC raised this concern in a press release issued on Tuesday 24 May 2022.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

According to APC, the attacks resulted in major physical injuries on their members and supporters, adding that it was willfully and deliberately calculated to prevent APC Campaign for the forthcoming bye elections for Constituency 056, scheduled for Saturday 25th June, 2022 by the Electoral Commission-Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be noted that the Parliamentary seat became vacant when SLPP Member of Parliament for Constituency 056, Hon. Alhaji Musa Bamba Foray Kulio Jalloh was installed as Paramount Chief of Sambaia Chiefdom, Tonkolili District.<\/p>\n

As part of its oversight functions to conduct free and fair elections in Sierra Leone, the Electoral Commission at stakeholders meetings in the Constituency had agreed that the APC could launch its campaign on May 22nd 2022.<\/p>\n

In flagrant violation of this stipulation by the Electoral Commission, the Paramount Chief who is the former Member of Parliament representing the Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP) in Constituency 056 sent out messages instructing constituents to come on the same date in which the major opposition, All Peoples Congress was scheduled by the Commission to launch its campaign for what he described as \u201cCommunal Labour Day,\u201d the party stated.<\/p>\n
