The All People’s Congress (hereinafter referred to as APC) is one of Sierra Leone’s two major political parties, the other being its main political adversary; the Sierra Leone People’s Party (hereinafter referred to as SLLP). The APC was established in 1960 by a breakaway faction from the SLPP that vehemently opposed elections before independence and instead favored independence first. The APC ruled the country from 1968 until 1992 and then again following the 2007 Presidential elections. Since the 2018 Presidential Elections, when it lost the presidency to the SLPP, the APC has become the primary opposition party in Sierra Leone. However, the party retains a parliamentary majority.
