The leadership of the All Peoples Congress (APC) party, Coalition for Change Party (C4C), the National Grand Coalition (NGC), and the Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) on Monday, March 6 , 2023, pleaded to promote, observe and enforce cultural and moral values of our society through the signed a communiqué in Freetown.
The Communiqué was facilitated by the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC).
The parties also agreed to condemn all forms of obscenities, vulgarities, hate speech and all other proscribed conduct in the Political Parties Act No 25 of 2022, against their political opponents.
It was also agreed that political parties will continue to engage and admonish their members and supporters to refrain from all such conduct, during their partisan activities, and that they commit to support and cooperate with the Sierra Leone Police to identify and arrest perpetrators of all such proscribed conduct.
The Political Parties encouraged the PPRC to engage the leadership of Political Parties, before invoking the powers conferred on them in the new Act, each time there is perceived transgression by any of the Parties in the spirit of mutual cooperation and goodwill.
