Freetown, 11th February 2026- The Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) has suspended the All People’s Congress (APC) Party after it failed to comply with fines imposed under the Political Parties Act No. 25 of 2022.
According to the Commission, the APC was found in violation of Section 39(1) of the Act. As a result, fines were levied and formally communicated to the party on February 2, 2026, with a payment deadline set for February 10, 2026. Despite reminders, the Commission noted that the APC “failed, refused, or neglected” to settle the penalties.
In line with enforcement provisions of the Act, the PPRC announced the suspension of the APC from all political activities with immediate effect. This includes meetings, rallies, elections, and administrative operations. The suspension will remain in force until the party pays the outstanding fines and receives written clearance restoring its operational status.
The Commission emphasized that the matter should be treated with “utmost seriousness” to avoid further sanctions. Under the law, continued non‑compliance could trigger additional penalties, including investigations by the Anti‑Corruption Commission.
