NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
November 17, 2012 Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Council Elections
The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Sierra Leone People’s Party
(SLPP) met on Tuesday November 27, 2012 to discuss the 2012 elections.
The NEC resolved as follows:
• The NEC strongly condemns the refusal of the National Electoral
Commission (NEC) to address the electoral irregularities including fake
and unstamped Reconciliation and Result Forms, pre-marked ballot papers,
ballot stuffing and over-voting in Kono, the Western Area and the
Northern Province and more other instances of malpractices which
undermined the credibility of the results.
We demand the unconditional release of all SLPP members and supporters who are currently in police custody.
• In the spirit of reconciliation, we also call on Government to nolle
prosequi all pending political matters in our local courts.
•
We demand an independent international assessment of the electoral
process, results and the democratic institutions involved in the
process.
Meanwhile, the NEC of the SLPP directs our elected Members
of Parliament, Chairmen, Mayors and Councilors of Local Councils to stay
away from Parliamentary and Local Council proceedings respectively
until further notice.
