The All People’s Congress (APC), Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, has declared that Dr. Samura Mathew Wilson Kamara, its 2023 presidential candidate, is no longer the leader of the party.
The announcement was made by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Sidi Yayah Tunis, during a broadcast on AYV Television’s Wake Up Sierra Leone show.
Tunis cited Section 47 of the APC Constitution to justify the party’s decision, though specific details on the section’s provisions were not elaborated upon during the announcement. Dr. Kamara, who contested in the June 2023 elections against President Julius Maada Bio, has been a prominent figure within the APC for several years.
The APC’s decision has sparked widespread speculation about the party’s leadership and future direction, as Dr. Kamara remains a significant figure in Sierra Leonean politics. Further clarifications from the party are expected in the coming days.
