In a decisive statement shared on her Facebook page, First Lady Fatima Bio has revealed that the National Advisory Council (NAC) of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) has issued a strict directive against premature campaigning for the party’s flagbearer position.
According to Mrs. Bio, the NAC has made it clear that any member caught engaging in activities promoting a particular candidate for the flagbearer role will face severe consequences, including suspension from the party. This bold move aims to maintain unity and focus within the SLPP as they navigate internal processes leading to the selection of their next leader.
The announcement has sparked widespread discussion among party members and political observers, with many interpreting it as a call for discipline and adherence to the party’s principles. Fatima Bio’s post underscores the party’s commitment to fair play and collective interest, sending a strong message to would be violators of the directive.
While the SLPP has yet to provide further details on when and how the flagbearer selection process will officially commence, this announcement highlights the leadership’s determination to avoid internal divisions and ensure a transparent and orderly transition process.
As the political climate heats up, all eyes will be on the SLPP to see how this directive shapes the party’s internal dynamics and prepares them for the challenges ahead.
