In Sierra Leone, PPRC Ends another Phase of its Political Education By Dauda Koroma Nov 19, 2013 The Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC) has over the weekend completed another Phase of its flagship programme, Political Education, an exercise which started in Makeni recently. It brought together representatives from the ten registered political parties in Sierra Leone. In his statement during the start of the exercise in Makeni, the Chairman of the Commission, Hon. Justice M.E. Tolla Thompson said the exercise was part of the Commissions activities to strengthen the capacity of political parties in Sierra Leone. The programme he went on was as a result of findings during the 2012 elections, which shows that political parties were unable to sensitize their electorates about their manifestos before going into the polls. This according to him, led to people making uninformed choices during the elections as people voted on regional or tribal lines. The meetings were climaxed with Group Work and presentations on internal administration of political parties, inter political relationships among/between political parties, conduct of political parties immediately before and during elections, conduct of political parties in power post elections, conduct of political parties in opposition post elections and how to make good use of the media during elections. news.sl/drwebsite/publish/article_200524195.shtml
