“Sierra Leone Elections”

Voters in Sierra Leone go to the polls on March 7th to elect a new president, parliament and local councils. This year’s presidential race is considered to be wide-open with President Ernest Bai Koroma is stepping down after serving a 10-year, two-term tenure. During his presidency, Koroma faced allegations of corruption and the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, which killed some 4,000 Sierra Leoneans in 2014 and 2015. Along with Samura Kamara, the candidate of the ruling All People Congress Party, other front-runners include former U.N. Under-Secretary-General Kandeh Yumkella and Julius Maada Bio, who ruled Sierra Leone at the head of a military junta in 1996. The youngest presidential candidate to run in Sierra Leone's general election is 42 years old Beresford Victor Williams, of the opposition Republic National Independent Party. Many citizens have complained that not enough has been done to revive the country’s fortunes in the wake of the duel crises and have high expectations for the new president.

Join us for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast of "Straight Talk Africa" when host Shaka Ssali and his guests have an in-depth discussion on the most pressing issues facing Sierra Leone on the next Straight Talk Africa.

Question of the Week: What top issues would you like to see the new Sierra Leone president tackle first?
