After a long and tireless battle for the position of Chairman SLPP Kono District, Safea Leslie Moiwa has been duly elected as District Chairman of the party.
The long awaited election took place at the SLPP office in Kainkordu Road, Koidu Town, Kono district on the 18th September 2021.
The winner Safie Moiwa got 55 votes, Sal Hindolo Mansaray got 45 votes while Samuel Sahr Sam got 6 votes.
The election was held peacefully under the watchful eyes of Alhaji Alusine Funkuba Fofanah, the SLPP National Trustee, who was the Returning Officer of the electioneering process.
Speaking to Global Times shortly after the results were announced, the newly elected Chairman said, “I would like to thank my people for the time and courage during these trying times and am very grateful, whether you supported me or not we are all winners, there are no losers as we are all in this together to promote the interests of the SLPP.” He further called on all to come together and raise the party to an enviable position.
