PR System and the Future of Accountability in Sierra Leone

ZCC Communication Unit

As Sierra Leone continues to debate the introduction of the Proportional Representation (PR) system, many citizens and stakeholders have expressed different views about its potential impact on the country’s democracy and governance.

Supporters of the PR system argue that it has the potential to promote national unity in a country that has experienced tribal, regional, and political divisions for many years. They believe that a more inclusive electoral system could encourage broader representation and strengthen national cohesion.
