SLPP nominates former Tonkolili District Council Chairman for district council.

Former Tonkolili District Council Chairman Joins SLPP, Nominated For District Council 

By Richmond B Tholley

The former Chairman of the Tonkolili District Council and a senior member of the All People's Congress party from Tonkolili District have joined the ruling Sierra Leone's People Party.

Alusine Abdulai Sesay better known as Kamathor has also been selected and nominated by the SLPP to run for the Chairperson in the Northern District candidate.

In a letter to the leadership of the party, Sesay resigned from the APC a few months ago for reasons he says are personal. He served as the Tonkolili District Council Chairman under the All People's Congress from 2012 - 2018 and was the party's regional Youth leader. 

In 2018, his relationship with the party leadership in Tonkolili especially the former District Chairman and Sierra Leones's former Education Minister - Dr Minkilu Bah of blessed memory became bitter. During an APC District Executive election in Magburaka town, Sesay and other senior party members from Tonkolili were mercilessly beaten and lucked in a police cell.

Multiple unconfirmed reports indicated the former District Council Chairman was beaten by some brutal henchmen of the late Dr Bah, and it was he who ordered his men because the victims opposed most of his decisions. 

In an interview with this writer immediately after he is nominated as an SLPP candidate for the Tonkolili District Council in the 2023 elections, Kamathor said, he joined the SLPP because he believes it's the only party that accepts people irrespective of their background. 

President Bio, he said, has proven to be an honest leader with a vision to change Sierra Leone. He called on the people to vote for President Bio and the SLPP for sustainable development.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
