President
Dr Ernest Bai Koroma has arrived safely in Conakry to attend the inauguration
of President Professor Alpha Conde on his re-election for a second five-year
term of office. The ceremony is currently taking place in the Guinean capital today, 14 December.
Guinea
conducted presidential elections on October 11, 2015 and Prof Conde was
declared winner of the polls by the electoral commission in the same month. He
won nearly 58% of the vote thereby avoiding a run-off against closest rival
Cellou Dalein Diallo.
Professor
Alpha Conde took office in 2010, bringing to a halt two years of military rule.
President
Koroma is accompanied by his amiable wife Mrs. Sia Nyama Koroma, the Ministers
of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Dr Samura Kamara and
Information and Communication Alhaji Alpha Kanu.
President
Koroma and entourage received a warm welcome when his plane touched down at
Gbessia International Airport in Conakry. He was received by his Guinean
counterpart, Professor Alpha Conde.
When
the convoy also arrived at Bell Ville where the Sierra Leone Embassy is
located, President Koroma also received a rapturous reception from a large
crowd of people, mostly Sierra Leoneans.
