On Monday, June 5th, 2023, Sahr Charles, formerly a Member of Parliament for Constituency 028 representing the Coalition for Change (C4C) party, made an announcement declaring his support for the SLPP and President Bio in the upcoming June 24th elections.

Sources indicate that Hon. Charles has been a prominent advocate for the C4C party in Kono District. His decision to join the SLPP does not come as a surprise to many, as there were speculations that he might make such a move sooner or later. It is worth noting that former MP Saa Emerson Lamina and others had already declared their support for the SLPP several months ago.

The declaration ceremony took place at the community field in Koidu city, where Hon. Charles publicly pledged his allegiance to President Bio in the presence of the First Lady, Fatima Bio, and other party stakeholders from the SLPP.

During his time in the House of Parliament, Hon. Charles served on various committees, including Sports, Local Government and Planning, and Economic Development.

Although he initially resigned from the C4C party to run as an independent candidate in the June 24th election for undisclosed reasons, his decision to join the SLPP was widely anticipated. This declaration finally provides answers to the questions raised by his supporters over the past few weeks.
