Delegates at the All People’s Congress (APC) Conference in Makeni have voted overwhelmingly for Osman Abdal Timbo as the new deputy secretary general of the party.

Timbo, who was a member of Parliament, won a landslide with 1,324 votes as against second and third place Alie Conteh and Aziz Turay with 210 and 78 votes respectively.

Timbo will serve as deputy of a fellow lawyer, Lansana Dumbuya who also defeated former Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Ady Macauley for the Secretary-General position of the party.

The main opposition APC also elected Dr Samura Kamara as the party’s presidential candidate for the June 2023 elections.

Meanwhile, Dr Kamara is due in court this Thursday in the ongoing Sierra Leone Chancery Building trial at the High Court in Freetown.
