“Haven seen H.E Bio fight against corruption and the boost to free quality education across the country, we believe the SLPP is the only party capable of bringing the desired change Sierra Leoneans have long yearned for” he said.
Witnessed by a cheerful crowd, the first lady, Madam Fatima Bio, welcomed the former C4C political stalwarts and said that they made no mistake to choose the SLPP as it is the only party that will change the narrative of Sierra Leone and make the future bright for all.

The entire membership of the Sierra Leone People’s Party wholeheartedly welcomes you and we’re happy you all made up your minds for the sake of progress” she concluded.
