    Koroma’s Victory and Ethnic Politics | Sierra Leone News

    In a dramatic 2012 election win, Ernest Bai Koroma crushed his opponent Julius Maada Bio with nearly 59% of the vote—despite SLPP’s fiery ethnic appeals and a Themne running mate. While the opposition tried to paint the APC as favoring northerners, voters saw Koroma as authentically Themne through culture and upbringing. Koroma outmaneuvered Bio by dominating the Southeast, where he campaigned harder than Bio did in the North, turning key districts into APC strongholds and proving grassroots strategy over identity politics won the day.

    SLPP Out of Touch as APC Pushes Prosperity | Sierra Leone News

    The SLPP is under fire for being out of touch, accused of prioritizing propaganda over real governance and focusing more on power than people. Meanwhile, the APC, led by President Koroma, touts its decade of progress — from job growth to infrastructure — contrasting it with the SLPP’s past misrule, when Sierra Leone was in deep crisis. Voters are now poised to decide: will they reward the APC’s “Agenda for Prosperity” or return to a party seen as disconnected and desperate for cheap political wins?

    Bail Granted But Kamarainba Still Behind Bars | Sierra Leone News

    Mohamed Kamarainba Mansaray was granted bail in September with a 100 million leones bond and two guarantors, yet remains locked up at Pademba Road Correctional Centre—despite the judiciary claiming no one has submitted his paperwork. Whispers suggest the system is stalling, with Ellen Thomas, the Master and Registrar, allegedly ignoring his case since bail was approved. Critics suspect this delay is intentional, jeopardizing his fair trial and exposing troubling inefficiencies—or worse, bias—in the justice system. As the legal battle drags on, public scrutiny intensifies over whether true justice is being served. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    U.S. Ignores Bio, Picks Aki-Sawyer | Sierra Leone News

    Sierra Leone’s Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyer is stepping in to represent her country at the World Leaders Democracy Summit — while President Maada Bio was notably snubbed. With 110 global leaders invited and not a single nod for the president, it’s a stark signal from the U.S. that democratic accountability matters more than political loyalty. The White House appears to be sending a clear message: corruption and human rights abuses won’t be ignored — especially when they’re tied to leaders who’ve sidelined honest public servants like Aki-Sawyer and the Auditor General. This isn’t just about exclusion — it’s about setting global standards, and Sierra Leone’s leadership may now face serious consequences for how they govern.

    ABT Joins PMDC in Major Political Shift | Sierra Leone News

    Sierra Leone’s political tides are shifting as key figures like Abu Bakarr Turay, once a top investigator for jailed Chief Hinga Norman, officially joins the PMDC—delivering a major blow to the ruling SLPP.

He praises PMDC leader Charles Francis Margai and even claims Chief Norman’s blessing, hinting at an imminent leadership move. Turay is rallying Norman’s base to board the PMDC train, signaling this could be just the start of a seismic realignment ahead of elections.
