Abdul Fornah has been elected as the new Paramount Chief of Poli Chiefdom in Tonkolili District, achieving a decisive victory in the elections held on Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025.
Fornah, the eldest surviving son of the late Honourable Alhaji Bai Suntuba Osara III, garnered nearly 62% of the votes in a competitive four-candidate race.
His closest rivals secured 16% and 17% of the votes, while the fourth candidate managed to obtain 5%. The overwhelming support reflects the strong endorsement from the people of Poli for their late leader, who reigned for an impressive 27 years over the expansive Gbonkolenken.
The election results underscored Fornah’s considerable backing, as the local community expresses its desire to continue the legacy of his father, the late Paramount Chief, Alhaji Bai Suntuba Osara III, who was widely respected for his advancements in health, education, and social welfare throughout the region.
As observed, the landslide victory not only marked a new chapter for Poli Chiefdom but also suggested a commitment from the community to uphold the progressive ideals established during the late chief’s tenure.
Abdul Fornah’s ascension to leadership came at a time when continuity and growth within the chiefdom are paramount, and his election has assured many that the heritage of leadership will further flourish under his guidance.
