Koroma’s Victory and Ethnic Politics | Sierra Leone News
In a dramatic 2012 election win, Ernest Bai Koroma crushed his opponent Julius Maada Bio with nearly 59% of the vote—despite SLPP’s fiery ethnic appeals and a Themne running mate. While the opposition tried to paint the APC as favoring northerners, voters saw Koroma as authentically Themne through culture and upbringing. Koroma outmaneuvered Bio by dominating the Southeast, where he campaigned harder than Bio did in the North, turning key districts into APC strongholds and proving grassroots strategy over identity politics won the day.

SLPP Out of Touch as APC Pushes Prosperity | Sierra Leone News
The SLPP is under fire for being out of touch, accused of prioritizing propaganda over real governance and focusing more on power than people. Meanwhile, the APC, led by President Koroma, touts its decade of progress — from job growth to infrastructure — contrasting it with the SLPP’s past misrule, when Sierra Leone was in deep crisis. Voters are now poised to decide: will they reward the APC’s “Agenda for Prosperity” or return to a party seen as disconnected and desperate for cheap political wins?
