He informed all that the President recently called all aspirants to a meeting where he advised them to work with whoever the party chooses hand-in-hand, to ensure that the country and the party remain peaceful.

Flag-bearer aspirant Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara described the moment as a unique opportunity for the party to transform the nation if he ends up being chosen as and subsequently elected as President of Sierra Leone.

JFK has served as Deputy Prosecutor of the Special Court of Sierra Leone, Commissioner at the Anti-Corruption Commission before his appointment as Attorney General and Minister of justice.

 He expressed gratitude to President Koroma for according him the opportunity to serve his cabinet, and assured him that if given the opportunity to be the party’s flag-bearer, he will never disappoint him, the party and the nation.
