\u201cI\u2019ve just had a lengthy but fruitful discussion with EU Ambassador on issues bordering on democracy, preparations for the June 2023 elections and national cohesion,\u201d said erstwhile President Koroma.<\/p>\n

The statesman also encouraged the public to do their part by continuing to be patient in trying to register in a process that is widely reported to be problematic in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the \u2018voter registration\u2019 process, there have been widespread reports of significant logistical, technical and human resource inefficiencies in the registration process.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Muller and his EU team of observers who have been in various registration centers have also twitted about some of those \u2018technical challenges\u2019.<\/p>\n

Therefore, emphasizing the right of eligible Sierra Leonean to be registered, former President Koroma urged the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL) to speedily address the bottlenecks affecting the registration process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge everyone to be patient, continue to try and register; ECSL to speedily address the recurring challenges hindering the registration process. Every eligible Sierra Leonean should be able to exercise this right,\u201d said the former President.<\/p>\n
