The race for the All People’s Congress (APC) flagbearer position ahead of the highly anticipated 2028 general elections is heating up, and all eyes are now on Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, who has surged ahead as the apparent frontrunner and most favorite candidate for the top seat.
With his growing popularity among grassroots and his strong appeal to party delegates, Dr. Bangura has positioned himself as a unifying force capable of leading the APC back to governance.
Political observers point to his charisma, strategic vision, and proven track-record in leadership and service as key factors driving his momentum. His campaign has struck a chord with many APC faithful, especially the youth, who see in him a leader ready to rejuvenate the party, restore confidence, and present a formidable challenge to the ruling SLPP in 2028.
Across the country, from bustling city streets to remote rural communities, Dr. Bangura’s message of unity, reform, and economic revival has resonated strongly. He has emphasized the need for an inclusive APC—one that prioritizes development, creates jobs, and addresses the socio-economic hardships facing Sierra Leoneans.
As the party’s internal contest intensifies, Dr. Bangura’s camp remains focused on consolidating support and building bridges with other aspirants to ensure a united front. His rise in the polls signals a shifting tide within the APC, and if the current trend continues, he could very well become the face of the party’s comeback bid in 2028.
The flagbearer race is still ongoing, but one thing is clear—Dr. Ibrahim Bangura is no longer just a contender; he is now the man to watch.
