A significant rift has reportedly developed within the National Executive of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and other factions of the party, centering on the party’s 2018 and 2023 Presidential Flagbearer, Dr. Samura Kamara. This division arises at a time when the party is advocating for unity, following the long-awaited recommendations from the Tripartite Committee.
According to the Exclusive Newspaper the discord allegedly began with the selection of Dr. Samura Kamara as the 2018 presidential flagbearer by former President Ernest Bai Koroma. The rift widened following Kamara’s defeat in the 2023 presidential election. Some party members accuse the current executive of undermining the party’s aspirations, while members of the national executive claim Dr. Kamara is collaborating with the ruling government, to the detriment of the party and its supporters.
Accusations of slow progress in party activities and betrayal have been directed at the APC executive under the chairmanship of Hon. Minkailu Mansaray. These internal conflicts have reportedly extended to the broader party membership, complicating efforts to present a unified front.
In response to these allegations, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Sidi Yayaha Tunis, has recently asserted that there is no division within the party. He acknowledged that while the executive members and the party leader may hold different views on certain issues, this does not equate to a split within the party.
As the situation stands, it remains unclear who is to be believed—Dr. Samura Kamara or the National Executive members. Both sides are currently engaged in a blame game, leaving the party’s future direction uncertain amid these ongoing internal conflicts.
Keep the fight going APC, so that President Bio will have peace to run the country. You are neither good for yourself, nor for the country.
It’s a misunderstanding and not a fight.
Misunderstanding is common everywhere.
Even in the SLPP, not everyone likes Maada Bio.
They have started again with the brouhaha, at the end when they defeated at the pools, no one should be there on the party to accept defeat. Okay APCSL, voters are watching and taking notes.
The beginning of the end of this “alaki” party which has brought so much scourge on this nation? Hope the other “alaki” one – paopa – goes down as well. Instead of instilling hope, it rules by terror.
