The wise bird has been following development from the meeting of the Tripartite Committee being set-up to review/examine the outcome of the 2023 general elections.
According to information reaching the wise bird, at the time of signing of the Terms Reference there was clear disagreement between the government on one side and the APC representatives on the other.
Dr. Emmanuel Gaima, on the side of government, said it was very clear that, they don’t have the power to subject the Electoral Commission to an investigation.
While on the side of the APC, Dr. Kelfara Marrah was very insistent that they will examine the June 2023 elections including the release of data by the Electoral Commission.
The question the wise bird is asking is that, if the Tripartite Committee fails then what next? Will the moral guarantors go back to the drawing board?
It is clear that, the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) will not want to hear of a re-run nor will they want to talk about the release of data.
On the APC side the sticky point is a re-run or the production of data for the world to know whether the June 2023 election was won by the SLPP as they proclaimed to be.
The wise and patriotic bird is just thinking aloud; let’s think for a moment that, the Tripartite Committee did not see the light at the end of the day, what will happen then. Will the All People’s Congress (APC) party down tools as usual? Let’s wait and see!
