Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC) is expected to conduct lower level internal and national elections to choose a new executive as time is no longer at friend of the 21-Man Interim Transitional Governance Committee (ITGC) to achieve its set goals In the April 28, 2022 court ruling handed down by Justice Adrian Fisher, in the wake of a petition filed by the now Chairman of the ITGC, Alfred Peter Conteh, the said activities were pegged to a 90-day timeline.<\/p>\n

<\/a>According to the timeline issued out by the court, the APC 21-Man Team interim team was supposed to be holding internal lower-level elections at Ward, Constituency, District and Regional levels to elect new executives by now.<\/p>\n

After those activities, the party is expected to hold the much awaited National Delegates\u2019 Convention (NDC) to elect a new national executive to run the affairs of the party and elect the party\u2019s 2023 presidential flagbearer. However, due to petitions from certain aggrieved members of the party on the new gazetted rules and regulations for the conduct of the elections, the start of the electioneering process would be delayed for another 35 days. The Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC) is reported to have already gazetted \u201cthe new elections rules and regulations for a period ending 11th August, this year.Confirmed sources within the hierarchy of the party have however intimated this press that some aggrieved party members have raised concerns over the rules and regulations particularly in relation to the five hundred million old Leones stipulated for nomination fees for the position of 2023 presidential flagbearer of the party, stressing that it contravenes the country\u2019s 1991 Constitution.<\/p>\n

According to the Communications Officer of the 21-Man Committee, Suliaman Bumneh Kamara, the said concerns imply that the approval veteran Executives of the party as period of the new rules and regulations stipulated in the party\u2019s new elections would have to be shifted forward from 11th August to another two weeks for the party and the aggrieved members to sit and address the issues raised; and that additional period would bring the total number of days to 35<\/p>\n

He continued that the party had been in compliance with all the court orders and was only waiting for the outcome of PPTC before releasing the final timetable for the conduct of the party\u2019s first internal lower level elections under the new 2022 APC constitution. \u201d We were only waiting for the completion and approval of the final documents.Before releasing the official election timetable,\u201d he told this press.<\/p>\n

The IGTC mouthpiece further noted that after the expiration of the 35 days period, the 21-Man Committee would set a date for the appointment of the 25-m\u00e1n Independent Election Management Committee that would be constitutionally mandated to conduct the party\u2019s lower level and national executive elections countrywide.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He furthered that Ward and Constituency elections would be conducted nation wide with special conferences for the conduct of elections for District, friend. Regional, Women\u2019s Congress, Young Peoples\u2019 Congress and the veteran Executives of the party as stipulated in the party\u2019s new elec- tions rules and regulations.,<\/p>\n
