The front runner in the race to
become flagbearer of the main opposition Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP),
Brig. (Rtd.) Julius Maada Bio has been speaking to supporters in the United
Kingdom, about his chances of clinching the Party’s Presidential ticket ahead
of the February 2018 polls.
Brig. (Rtd.) Julius Maada Bio
accompanied by his wife, Fatima told a beehive of supporters during an informal
gathering in London, over the weekend that, their unwavering support has made
him indomitable insofar as the flagbearer race in the SLPP is concerned.
Brig. (Rtd.) Julius Maada Bio noted that with
such an overwhelming and unshakable support he has from Sierra Leoneans at home
and abroad, he has no doubt that he will not only win the party flagbearer
position but he will also clinch the Presidency of Sierra Leone.
He thanked SLPP supporters everywhere for staying
the cause and for believing in his leadership, noting that, their support and
faith will be translated in to capturing State House come 2018.
Brig. (Rtd.) Julius Maada Bio, a doctoral
candidate at Bradford University returned to UK after months of research work
in Sierra Leone.
He told his supporters that
while in the country, he had the opportunity of assessing his chances in the
flagbearer race and of the Presidency which he said were “very good and very
encouraging”.
The SLPP will continue with the conduct of
internal elections later this month, after going through the first tier of its
lower level elections under the supervision of the PPRC (Political Parties
Registration Commission).
The elections will be climaxed
by a National Delegates Conference where a new set of National Officers of the
Party will be elected.
