A further 8.5% were unsure, while 3.3% said they had equal confidence in both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the findings, it shows a 13.6% gap between the two parties, suggesting that many Sierra Leoneans currently view the APC more favourably than the governing SLPP on key issues affecting livelihoods and national stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHRDI stressed that the results point to growing public concern over economic conditions, including the rising cost of living, unemployment and broader governance challenges facing the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e\u201dThe data show that public confidence in the ruling party\u2019s management of the economy and security remains under significant pressure,\u201d the organisation said in its analysis of the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe right group however noted that confidence in the opposition is also far from overwhelming, with over one-third of respondents expressing doubts about the APC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe findings reflect widespread frustration among citizens struggling with economic hardship. Sierra Leone has faced persistent inflationary pressures in recent years, with households reporting increasing difficulties in meeting the cost of basic goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe CHRDI survey also suggests that dissatisfaction extends beyond partisan politics. While the SLPP recorded the highest level of distrust, the APC\u2019s 37.3% rating indicates that a substantial share of voters remain unconvinced that the opposition offers a complete alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the right group, 88.2% of respondents expressed a lack of confidence in either one of the two major parties, highlighting what observers describe as a broader crisis of trust in political leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eCHRDI warned that declining confidence in political institutions could undermine democratic participation if left unaddressed, urging for greater transparency, accountable governance, inclusive economic policies and stronger engagement with citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eWith less than two years before Sierra Leoneans begin intensifying preparations for the 2028 elections, the poll is likely to increase debate over economic performance, governance reforms and the ability of political parties to regain public trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2013 Survey Reveals The Human Rights and Development International (CHRDI) new public opinion poll has revealed that the main opposition the All People\u2019s Congress (APC) party, enjoys greater public confidence than the ruling Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP) on the management of the economy and national security. \u200eThe opinion pool survey found that 50.9% of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
