Freetown, 28th May 2026- Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the All People’s Congress (APC), has rejoined the Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC), marking a significant step back into the country’s electoral dialogue after a period of absence.
The meeting, hosted today, Thursday, 28 May 2026, by the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL), brought together political parties and key stakeholders to strengthen collaboration, promote democratic governance, and prepare for peaceful and credible elections.
In a statement, the ECSL emphasized the importance of the APC’s return: “The presence and participation of the All People’s Congress (APC) party in today’s PPLC meeting manifest the commitment to resume its participation in the electoral process and partnership with the ECSL – a stance the Chief Electoral Commissioner and Chairman warmly and publicly appreciated.”
The PPLC serves as a platform for parties to engage directly with the Commission on electoral preparedness, transparency, and conflict prevention. The APC’s participation signals a renewed willingness to engage constructively in discussions that shape Sierra Leone’s democratic process.
