President Julius Maada Bio of the ruling Sierra Leone’s People’s Party (SLPP) emphasized his visit to supporters in Bo as a celebration rather than a campaign event.

Speaking during the SLPP campaign on Friday, June 9, 2023, President Bio, who is also the presidential candidate for his party, addressed the upcoming elections scheduled for June 24, 2023.

“I am not here to campaign but to celebrate with my people,” President Bio stated, highlighting his intention to share in the joy and achievements of the citizens of Sierra Leone.

Reflecting on his previous campaign five years ago, President Bio reminded the crowd that he had advocated for numerous issues and made promises to uplift the nation, including the commitment to provide free education for school pupils.

He asserted that during his tenure, he has remained true to his word and successfully fulfilled the pledges made to the people of Sierra Leone.

As the country approaches the upcoming elections, President Bio’s visit served as an opportunity to engage with supporters, express gratitude, and foster a sense of unity and celebration.
