According to a press statement issued yesterday, Wednesday 29th April 2026, by the APC National Secretary General, Lansana Dumbuya Esq., the opposition took the decision “following the conclusions and agreed outcomes contained in the communique issued by the International Moral Guarantors after their joint assessment mission to Sierra Leone.” It furthered that “This decision is made in good faith and in honour of the commitments outlined in the communique, particularly the provision calling on the APC and its elected reps to end the boycott and fully reengage in governance processes at all levels.
The APC lawmakers, according to the statement, will resume participation at the next sitting of Parliament, while all other reps in local councils are to return to duties with immediate effect.
It also called on the government to demonstrate equal commitment by urgently “Laying the Agreement for National Unity and the Tripartite Committee Report before Parliament to ensure transparency, legitimacy, and national ownership of their implementation; and facilitating the immediate establishment of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Electiral Matters as agreed, to review the electoral cycle, strengthen electoral preparedness, and guide necessary reforms ahead of the 2028 elections without prejudice to Section 32(11) of the Constitution.”
