Dr. Kadie Sesay

News from our home based editorial desk in Freetown has indicated thatall our earlier predictions about the country’s main opposition party, SLPP, are fallen in place one after the other, as the elected flag-bearer Ret. Brig. Julius Manda Bio named today Dr. Kadie Sesay as his running-mate in the forthcoming presidential and parliamentary elections. It must be noted that Critique Echo predicted Dr. Kadie Sesay as the most suitable candidate for the position in late July this year.  

Meanwhile, the Chief Electoral Commissioner and Chairperson of the National Electoral Commission (NEC), Christiana A. M. Thorpe (Dr.) after consultation with the President, have announced the date for the Presidential Election slated for November 17 next year.

  1. I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
