On Sunday, 11th August, 2024, the All People’s Congress (APC) regional and national executives launched a new registration and verification exercise for its members at the Bai Burreh Hall party office in Port Loko City. Sidi Yayah Tunis, the national publicity secretary, explained that the verification process, which will last three months for executives and one year for ordinary members, is for existing members, while the registration is for new members. He highlighted that this process is one of the four qualifications for party membership as outlined in chapter 2, article 9 of the party constitution.
Tunis cited constituency changes and the lack of proper ID cards for some members as reasons for the exercise. He also noted that a monitoring team, led by National Deputy Chairman Alhaji Osman Foday Yansaneh, has been established by the National Advisory Committee (NAC) to ensure transparency and reduce complaints.
In his address, Lawyer Lansana Dumbuya, the national secretary-general, expressed concern over misleading social media messages about the party executive. He emphasized the benefits of the new system, including easy access to member professions and birthday wishes, and encouraged everyone to participate in the process.
The event brought together members from the three districts of Port Loko, Kambia, and Karene, which make up the North West Region.
