Former Information Minister and senior member of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hon. Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, has said he believes the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) will lose the next general elections in 2028.
Speaking during an online TV program, Hon. Kargbo said the country is currently going through very tough times under the SLPP government, and that many Sierra Leoneans are tired of the way things are going. He pointed to the ongoing hardship across the country as the main reason why the ruling party is likely to be voted out.
Hon. Kargbo noted that ordinary citizens are struggling to meet basic needs, and frustration is building across both urban and rural communities. He said these challenges have created a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the current leadership.
The veteran APC politician made these comments while responding to a popular question among Sierra Leoneans asking which party is better in governance between the APC and the SLPP.
In his response, Hon. Kargbo said the APC has a better track record from its time in power and added that, compared to what is happening now, the SLPP will not be able to retain power in the 2028 elections.
He explained that the rising cost of living and the daily struggles people face have made many lose hope in the current leadership. According to him, this frustration could push voters to choose a different direction in the next polls.
As the country moves closer to another election cycle, statements like this reflect growing political tension and a shift in public debate over who is best suited to lead Sierra Leone forward.
Rising cost of living and people’s daily struggles are true. But what is also true is that this country’s voting public do not vote on issues. Otherwise the opposition can go to sleep, thinking when they wake up, they will find themselves in State House. If the opposition does not address the white elephant in the room by creating a level playing field for all aspiring candidates, the APC can cry me a river, for all i care.
This is not rocket science…
I thought he was going to mention relevant information. APC and SLPP are the same useless political parties.
Both SLPP and the APC are not interested in developing the country. Both are parties are only interested in enriching themselves. Corruption has crippled the country from independence. It is very difficult to break that cycle.
Sad to say, we need an Ibrahim Traore moment, to eradicate certain individuals, ban them from politics, some exiled, before there will be meaningful changes.
We need mature young military personnel, to curb this Corruption with impunity. APC will make no difference, the struggle will continue. In stead let us live the country to the Bio’s maybe Madam Fatima Bio will do something, she seems to have more venom than all I have seen.
Before salone military rule me, make r dae suffer under civilian
Let IB and his party go to sleep. They will wake up at state house. The same 2023 complacency is what they’ve started.
