Commissioner Braima Moiforay, Secretary General of the Electoral Commission, SLPP Washington Metro Chapter, stated that he does not have adequate words to express his profound appreciation for the unprecedented award adding that though it was a bit late , but it was timely and given at the appropriate venue —the 2023 SLPPNA Regional Convention.

The entire Washington DC Metro Chapter extended profuse thanks to the Chairman of the great Washington DC Metro Chapter, Fatmata Wurie, for her astounding leadership saying the award was well deserved and was earned through the dynamic and relentless efforts of their Chairman in recruiting and mobilizing their members to support the activities of the region and by extension the President’s agenda.
