By Chernor Alimamy KamaraThe Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) has ordered the Transitional Interim Independent Elections Management Committee (TIIEMC) of the opposition All People’s Congress (APC) to conduct rerun elections in Constituencies 111, 106 Western Rural, 040 Falaba, 045 Koinadugu and 092 in Bonthe. The commission in a notice made public on Monday 24rd January disclosed its stance on petitions received from aggrieved members of the APC opposing the conduct and outcome of both a number of the Constituency and Executive elections and some of the rerun Ward elections. PPRC says most of the grounds canvassed by the petitioners were untenable and informed on misconceptions, and inadequate information from the ITGC. It also realized that most of the petitioners were neither candidates, nor delegates in the elections they petitioned. It therefore assured the TIIEMC that they are at liberty to conduct the district executive elections in all the remaining twelve electoral districts unaffected by the ruling at any appropriate time.
