The Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) has fined the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Leones (NLe150, 000) for what it described as a contravention of Section 39(1)(d) of the Political Parties Act (No. 25) of 2022.
In a Press Release issued on Tuesday, 25th November 2025, the Commission stated that the violation arose from statements made by Wusu Dadiddah Jalloh, an SLPP member, during a broadcast on Liberty Online Television on Monday, 24th November 2025. According to the PPRC, the remarks were considered incendiary and inciting, breaching provisions governing the conduct of political actors.
The Commission revealed that it had earlier cautioned the SLPP in a letter dated 11th November 2025, warning the party against actions that violate Section 39(1)(d) of the Act. Despite the warning, the PPRC noted with concern that the behavior persisted.
As a result, the ruling party has been given fourteen (14) days to pay the imposed fine.
The Commission encouraged members of the public and political stakeholders to remain compliant with the Political Parties Act and maintain responsible conduct in political communication.
