The former interim National Secretary General of the main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC) party, Hon. Abdul Kargbo has confirmed that their Leader and Presidential candidate, Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara has discredited the whole electoral process and presidential result announced by the Chief Electoral Commissioner of the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL), Mohamed Kenewui Konneh for lack of transparency at the tallying centre.
According to Abdul Kargbo, there is a great difference in the 2023 general elections and those conducted during their regime, adding that there are a lot of inconsistencies in the Result Reconciliation Forms (RRFs) and the ECSL was not transparent during the input of results.
He continued that there were no results for Kambia district during the announcement of the 60% of the final result and confirmed that results were sent to the ECSL without being certified at district level and by party agents and reiterated that the whole electoral process was not transparent and unaccountable.
He furthered that their Leader and flagbearer will seek legal means through the Supreme Court to get redress while calling on all APCians to be lawful and law abiding, adding that what Konneh did is unprecedented.
Hon. Abdul Kargbo concluded that their Leader and presidential candidate, Dr. Samura Kamara has questioned the whole electoral process and the result announced and is calling on international partners to step in and address their numerous concerns raised.
