  • Preliminary Statement
    European Union Election Observation Mission Sierra Leone Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Council Elections 2018 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Election day went smoothly but the entire process was overshadowed by tensions and political attacks on the electoral commission Freetown, 3 April 2018 Summary This Preliminary Statement is delivered prior to the completion of the election process. It should be read in conjunction with the EU EOM Preliminary Statement issued on 9 March 2018. The final assessment of the elections will depend in part on the conduct of the remaining stages of the election process, in particular, the tabulation of results, and the handling of possible post-election day complaints and appeals. The EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) remains in country to observe post-election developments and will publish a Final Report, containing detailed recommendations, within two months of the conclusion of the electoral process. The run-off election took place on 31 March between the two candidates who received the most votes in the presidential election of 7 March 2018 - retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) who gained 43.3% in the first-round, and Dr Samura Kamara of the incumbent All People’s Congress (APC) with 42.7%. Together with the vice presidential running mates, all four candidates are men. • The main institution administering the election, the National Electoral Commission (NEC) proved its genuine commitment to a transparent and inclusive election, a vital component of democratic consolidation. Contesting candidates and political parties however remained more ambiguous, publicly calling for peace but also fuelling a divisive discourse and unwarranted attacks and demands on the NEC.

  • State Opening of Parliament 1
    STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT 1 GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, BRIG (Retd) DR. JULIUS MAADA BIO, GCRSL, President of The Republic and Commander-In-Chief of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces On the Occasion of the State Opening of the Third Session of the Fifth Parliament of the Second Republic of Sierra Leone In the Chamber of Parliament Building Tower Hill, Freetown On Thursday, 28th May 2020 At 10:00am STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT 2 Mr. Speaker. Honourable Vice President. Honourable Chief Justice, Ministers of Government, Honourable Members of Parliament Your Worship, The Mayor of the Municipality of Freetown The First Lady, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, As we assemble in this Great Hall that symbolizes our unity in diversity, I would ask that we rise and observe a moment of silence for our compatriots and all other citizens of the global community who have succumbed to the COVID-19 Pandemic. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God/Allah rest in peace. Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of Parliament, today’s event is taking place in a sombre atmosphere. It is observed amidst the ravages of COVID-19, not only in Sierra Leone but also the world over. That notwithstanding, I am confident that like the trials of our immediate past, this period provides yet another opportunity for all Sierra Leoneans, irrespective of religion, ethnicity and region of origin to come together for the sake of our common destiny and for the sake of humanity. While it is my prayer and hope that together with the global community, we shall combat and eliminate this global pandemic, it is equally my prayer and hope that the opportunity created for, and by our coming together will engender us to build a Sierra Leone that works for all of us.

  • The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone
    The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone Tristan Reed1 James A. Robinson2 July 15, 2013 1Harvard University, Department of Economics, Littauer Center, 1805 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. 2Harvard University, Department of Government, IQSS, 1737 Cambridge Street., N309, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract1 In this manuscript, a companion to Acemoglu, Reed and Robinson (2013), we provide a detailed history of Paramount Chieftaincies of Sierra Leone. British colonialism transformed society in the country in 1896 by empowering a set of Paramount Chiefs as the sole authority of local government in the newly created Sierra Leone Protectorate. Only individuals from the designated \ruling families" of a chieftaincy are eligible to become Paramount Chiefs. In 2011, we conducted a survey in of \encyclopedias" (the name given in Sierra Leone to elders who preserve the oral history of the chieftaincy) and the elders in all of the ruling families of all 149 chieftaincies. Contemporary chiefs are current up to May 2011. We used the survey to re- construct the history of the chieftaincy, and each family for as far back as our informants could recall. We then used archives of the Sierra Leone National Archive at Fourah Bay College, as well as Provincial Secretary archives in Kenema, the National Archives in London and available secondary sources to cross-check the results of our survey whenever possible. We are the first to our knowledge to have constructed a comprehensive history of the chieftaincy in Sierra Leone. 1Oral history surveys were conducted by Mohammed C. Bah, Alimamy Bangura, Alieu K.
