Boss LAJ and other top Sierra Leonean artists to perform at the launch of The ADY MACAULEY MOVEMENT

Sierra Leonean rapper and Peace Ambassador, Alhaji Amadu Bah, aka King Boss LAJ, and other top Sierra Leonean artists are set to perform at the official launch of THE ADY MACAULEY MOVEMENT, taking place this afternoon (Thursday 18th November) at the Fourah Bay Field in Freetown.

The event is set to attract thousands of Sierra Leoneans who believe in Ady's political movement - from his political party and beyond.

Ady Macauley is a seasoned Sierra Leonean politician with an incredible public service contribution to the nation. He is a lawyer, a former state prosecutor, and a former Anti Corruption Commissioner. His dedication to the fight against corruption was widely commendable.

Mr. Macauley's dedication to the All People's Congress political party and the nation is laudable. Today, this astute political figure will declare his political intention to the wider public as he seeks to bid for the highest office in the land.

Communities across Freetown and beyond will converge this afternoon at the Fourah Bay Field this 2pm - with live entertainment sessions from various superstars including Boss LAJ, Baby Bernard, and others.

Sierra Leone's main opposition party All People's Congress (APC) Presidential candidate Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara has outlined series of concerns relating to electoral malpractices by the Electoral Commission For Sierra Leone (ECSL), ahead of the June 24th, 2023 elections.

On Wednesday June 14, at the Brookfields Hotel in Freetown, Dr. Samura Kamara informed the media, the international community and the general public about plans of the Electoral Commissioner Mr. Mohamed Konneh to rig the upcoming elections. His Party's concerns range from the processes of registration to poor quality voters ID, to the disenfranchisement of first time voters, yo the Commission's refusal to publish the Final Voter Register.

Dr. Samura Kamara further mentioned how the ECSL is working in the interest of the ruling party in an effort to steal the mandate of the people of Sierra Leone; while also collaborating with the security sectors to intimidate, suppress and harass opposition members, many of whom have been taken hostage by the government.

The APC Presidential Candidate, Dr. Samura Kamara made several demands to be adhered to by the Electoral Commission and the Government of Sierra Leone to ensure a free, fair, credible, transparent and peaceful elections. His demands include the following:

* The immediate release of the Final Voter Register

* Counting of ballots papers at the respective centres immediate after polling, in the presence of party agents, local and international observers

* Manual Counting and tallying of results

* The security and ECSL must ensured unfettered access for party representatives, local and international observers in the transportation and distribution of electoral materials before and after polling.

* The government should not shut down the internet throughout the electioneering periods,,

Among others...

Dr. Samura Samura said that these demands are timelined and they must be adhered to within 72 hours. Failing to do so, he is asking the Electoral Commissioner and all other Commissioners to resign immediately after the 72 hours deadline.
