Elections in 2023: "Only Two Parties, Completed Nominations For All Positions"
Only two political parties successfully nominated candidates for every position in the elections scheduled for June 2023, according to the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (EC-SL). The All People's Congress (APC) and the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) are the only political parties that have entirely filled out their slates of candidates for the June elections, according to Albert Massaquoi, Director of External Relations at ECSL.
Albert claims that the Proportional Representation (P.R.) The system necessitates that political parties submit two names for each allotted seat. Because there are 16 MP seats in Freetown, he stated, "Each political party shall submit thirty-two (32) names to the EC-SL." He said, "Freetown has forty (40) seats in the Local Council, and each political party is required to submit eighty (80) names, with at least one woman included in every three names submitted."
