Why Mohamed Konneh Rejected Second Term Bid
The Chief Electoral Commissioner for Sierra Leone(ECSL) Mr. Mohamed Konneh has shocked the nation that, he is not going to continue his second term in office.
It could be recalled that since Mr Konneh was appointed as the Chief Electoral Commissioner for Sierra Leone, his reputation and competence have raised several doubts whether he was the right personality President Bio had appointed for the highly paid job.
Some schools of thoughts and political commentators who spoke to this medium say Mr Konneh’s planned resignation he has fulfilled President Bio’s mission by rigging the June 24, 2023, Presidential election.
It is glaring clear that the 2023 Presidential election as alleged by local and international observers was not transparent, fair and credible. The All People’s Congress party since the Presidential results were announced had cried foul play and had asked its elected MPs, and local council representatives not to participate in governance.
According to some concern citizen they have described Mr. Konneh as the worst and unpatriotic Electoral Commissioner in the history of Sierra Leone. ‘’He wanted another civil war in the country just to satisfy his benefactors. He will one day pay for his wicked acts to this nation. What goes around comes around,’’ a furious Sierra Leonean fumed.
‘’The majority of Sierra Leoneans voted for a change. We are still suffering economic hardships while President Bio, Madam Fatima Bio and surrogates are wasting tax payers’ monies travelling. We are looking forward to the recommendations of the Tripartite Committee,’’ a political commentator averred.
