The current leader of the National Grand Coalition (NGC), Dr. Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella fondly called KKY is reportedly in a dilemma as both the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) and the main opposition All Peoples Congress (APC) are in race to grab his membership status ahead of the forth coming 2023 multitier elections.
KKY is currently the leader of NGC, but according to political observers, his future with the party hangs in the balance; as SLPP Leader, President Julius Maada Bio and the leadership of APC are in conversations to convince KKY to throw his weight behind either the SLPP or APC.
The battle between the two rival political parties to secure KKY’s membership has been ongoing after his astute leadership and exemplary performance before the 2018 elections saw his party wins Seats in Parliament; and as a leader of his NGC he has been articulating issues in the House much to the satisfaction of many.
During KKY’s time of grief after the recent demise of his beloved wife, both leadership of APC including the front of the 2023 multitier elections , Dr Samura Kamara and the SLPP led by President Julius Maada Bio went to sympathize with him.
According to sources close to KKY, the main opposition APC leadership is trying to negotiate with NGC leader to Throw his weight behind them with the promise of making him the running mate for the forthcoming multitier elections.
The sources furthered that President Bio however has not come up with any definite position for KKY and it is very difficult not to go with Dr.Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh who is a very likeable personality.
Meanwhile, KKY is yet to make his choice or rather remain with the NGC. However, it is expected to take some time as he is currently bereaved
