In an interview on SLBC, Sidi Yahyah Tunis, the National Publicity Secretary of the All People’s Congress (APC), expressed his frustration over the alleged negligence of the previous APC chief, Dr. Samura Kamara, in advocating for voters’ rights throughout their engagement with the ethical guarantors.
“We spoke, but he didn’t. He didn’t say a word—not about electoral justice, not even mentioning the people outside protesting for him because of what he had told them,” Tunis acknowledged, highlighting Dr. Samura Kamara’s perceived lack of motion.
Tunis additional defined that the get together’s place was clear: they disagreed with the outcomes of the 2023 elections and believed disaggregated knowledge needs to be produced, with a name for a re-run of the elections.
“The fact is, that’s why we went to Bintumani—to engage in dialogue. We reached an agreement with eight resolutions, which are now being implemented,” he mentioned.
Tunis emphasised that the resolutions targeted on electoral evaluate processes, which shaped the premise for the Tripartite Committee. He famous that the get together felt accountable to their supporters, particularly these protesting exterior for electoral justice.
“They were outside protesting while we were inside engaging with the moral guarantors. Our former leader and flag bearer was also present. But throughout the two hours of deliberation, nothing was said about electoral injustice, no mention of a re-run or re-election. The discussion was mainly focused on the implementation of the agreement,” Tunis continued.
He added, “We communicated this to our membership, and still, nothing about electoral justice came up. Dr. Samura Kamara said nothing—no mention of electoral justice or the people outside protesting for him.”
Tunis concluded by addressing criticisms from supporters who accused them of promoting out, stating, “It’s a facade so far as we’re involved.
I’ve been in each assembly, and I can say that discussions about electoral justice solely occur throughout the APC. But after we sit with the federal government and the worldwide group, there’s no such dialogue.”
