The All People’s Congress (APC) held a meeting with a group called the Moral Guarantors to discuss the failing Agreement for National Unity (ANU) and unresolved issues from the Tripartite Committee’s recommendations.
The APC leaders expressed frustration, saying they had acted in good faith to support peace after the disputed 2023 elections but felt their efforts were not being matched by the government. They raised several concerns:
Election Disputes – The APC still believes the 2023 elections were unfair. They want a proper review and reforms before the 2028 elections.
Broken Promises – The government has delayed or ignored key recommendations, such as setting up a parliamentary committee to oversee election bodies.
Unfair Appointments – The APC criticised the appointment of Edmond Sylvester Alpha and Mohamed Konneh to election-related roles without proper consultation.
Political Harassment – They mentioned cases like the imprisonment of opposition supporter Zainab Sheriff as examples of unfair treatment.
Census Concerns – The APC questioned the postponement of the 2025 census and warned it could create confusion before the next elections.
The Moral Guarantors, led by H.E. Fatoumata Jallow Tambajang, listened to the APC’s complaints and promised to review both sides’ positions carefully. They called the ANU and Tripartite recommendations “moral documents” that must be respected.
Both sides agreed to meet again on Thursday, April 16, 2026, to focus on the most urgent issues.
