In Port loko district, a Slpp parliamentary candidate has  engaged the  Apc  in two chiefdoms

The battle is raging

Analytical writing
May 3rd 2023

In the entire North West region of the Country, it now appears that the Slpp has engaged the Apc everywhere. In some cases,the Slpp has succeeded and gained foothold and in other cases, the Apc has successfully pushed back the Slpp. This back and forth drama  is now unfolding all over the North west region -which many have seen as the Slpp's overall strategy to play the Apc, what football experts describe as, half field.  This ugly development for Apc has made them to be stuck in their backyard and trying to fend off the Slpp. In context,the Apc has not been able to take the fight to the Slpp- in reality ,the Apc is playing a defensive match..
Port loko is one of the districts in the North West region where there are currently campaign engagements between the Slpp and the Apc. In some areas in the district, these two parties are unbelievably battling for supremacy. 
A  *Madam Mariatu Sesay* who says she is running for parliament under the Slpp ticket has joined her party to make a push in certain corridors in  the district.  Prior to her declaration for parliament, reports say she has been bringing in a number of development projects to her people. Her previous development moves have led to a necessary political environment in which research has shown that she has successfully engaged the Apc in her chiefdom of origin and the adjacent chiefdom. A continuation of her development programs has led her to score a number of successes to the extent that hundreds are now declaring for the Slpp in both chiefdoms.
Considered as an  eloquent speaker, Madam Mariatu Sesay has made a fine case to the people and her messages are resonating.
She has stationed in that area, bringing in more resources and putting the Apc under relentless bombardment. 
With the PR system, and the 30% quota for women ,coupled with the  significant amount of votes Slpp may capture in Port loko district, many now believe that  Madam Mariatu Sesay will make it to parliament.

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...
