The Centre, in its pursuit to provide early warning and instigate early response on issues posing threat to human security and peace in Sierra Leone engaged stakeholders on “Current and emerging political trends, and the implications on human security and peace leading to the 2028 elections”.

On Wednesday, 17^th December, 2025, a high profiled engagement took place at the NEWRMC’s 30 Sir Samuel Lewis Road Office to discuss the aforementioned. In attendance were the heads/senior members of the Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion (ICPNC),  Tripartite Steering Committee Secretariat (TSCS), Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) in addition to a representative from the leadership of the Sierra Leone Parliament and very senior members of both the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) and the All People’s Congress (APC).

The Executive Director of the Centre, Mrs Francess A. M Nyuma who moderated the session reiterated the purpose/importance of the engagement, which ushered in a presentation done by the Good Governance and Human Rights Analyst. The presentation highlighted progress made as a country as well as critical issues which have the potential to undermine the peace and cohesion of Sierra Leone.

The stakeholders held fruitful discussions in the best interest of Sierra Leone and proffered actionable solutions in the form of recommendations geared towards minimizing the (potential)  risks and reducing both intra and inter-party political conducts and activities leading to the 2028 general elections.
