National Commission for Democracy (NCD) has called on all those involved in the electoral process including the electorates to keep calm and remain focused as the destiny of the country is decided based on the will of the people as expressed in the ballot boxes on Saturday, June 24, 2023.
“Everybody must keep their eyes on the ball as our electoral democracy is consolidated in the best interest of the country,” the NCD said in a statement it put on Monday.
Sierra Leone is at a crossroad and our actions, whether intentional or unintentional, can make or break her. NCD, therefore, calls for the right thing to be done by all and sundry in making Sierra Leone a much better place in the context of democratic good governance with the successful outcomes of the 2023 polls becoming a litmus test. As we continue to pray for the peaceful and successful outcomes of the 2023 polls, we must bear in mind that we all have a role to play in achieving such a laudable goal.
Together, we can make it happen for Sierra Leone, the land that we love! Let us always choose the path of genuine democracy and not do anything to derail the processes of consolidating, deepening, and expanding our nation’s democracy.
