Kelvin Doe, a talented young tech engineer from Sierra Leone, recently stirred a social media debate when he expressed doubts about former National Grand Coalition (NGC) leader Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella’s aspirations to become the President of Sierra Leone.

In a social media post, Doe humorously remarked, “I bet KKY still thinks he could one day become president of SL lmao.”

Kelvin Doe’s statement emerged in the wake of Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella’s recent switch from the NGC to the ruling Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP). On October 15, 2023, Yumkella officially rejoined the SLPP, marking what many see as a heartfelt return to his former political home.

Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella is widely recognized as a prominent figure in Sierra Leone’s political landscape. His reintegration into the SLPP is significant, as he has assumed the role of Chairman of the Presidential Initiative On Climate Change, Renewable Energy, and Food Security within the party.
