Many supporters of both the SLPP and APC on this forum and in Sierra Leone like not only to gloss over the failures of the reign, but even go as far as denying it. Since 2002, SLPP have improved little socio-economically, and some aspects have become worse, such as the annual generation of electricity. The APC's record in its 23 years in power brought the nation into a dire situation as attested by the outbreak of the rebel war and also Sierra Leone's status at the bottom of the human development index in 1990 and 1991. Socio-economically at the end of the APC reign, things were equally dire or arguably worse. The same bad roads, hardly any electricity generation in the capital, and comparatively to now, substantially greater shortages of consumer provisions. That era was equally as corrupt and negligent as SLPP's because Sierra Leoneans as a people and leadership have hollow ambitions, lack nationally strategic aspirations, and little dedication to performing COLLECTIVELY BENEFICIAL AND NECESSARY RESPONSIBILITIES!

The SLPP was involved in a massive fraud in the East of the Country. There were no observers from the EU, AU or ECOWAS in remotest places. They say the roads are inaccessible. These so-called election monitors have no use. They chop a lots of money and they always use these jargons; The Elections was conducted free and fair.
The PMDC was robbed from victory in many areas in the east.

To be honest, you are a real saboteur who will do everything to cause havoc in the house of a peaceful man.
Are you not ashamed to write these lies here. Whosoever is giving you these lies will wake up tomorrow and see that Sierra Leone is bigger than any individual.Your illusive mind is a caricature of the SLPP desperation to continue its thievery.
Your superiors in Freetown are shaking now because the doors will be shut and there will be no place to seek solace.

You need to appreciate that these people risk all to see that we have a true democracy.
Do not cry them down so soon because your motive to destroy the SLPP did not come through...

As I wrote to a friend this afternoon: Charles Francis Margai is very much in demand. The most important man if there is going to be a second round. He can snub anyone, and they will still come back to him, crawling on their hands and knees, begging for mercy……….
And to another friend: I’m not lost in dream – yet times passes so slowly when you are waiting for the election results. The days are not uneventful, just slow. We now read about moneyed SLPP delegations going in peace, on pilgrimages to seek audience with the future Sir Charles Margai, on bended knee with preambles of “Kinie, Ngoh the Rt. Hon. Charles Margai, true, we have sinned unto thee and the truth is not in us, but we have come in love and in penitence to ask for your forgiveness”.
“These SLPP worms, let them squirm,” thinks Mr. Margai as they kiss his feet, “Prince Charles is not seeing anybody – go back to your masters and tell them, no deal”
“ Rise up and take your stands again PMDC supporters. Rise up and fortify our positions. We are in the fight because we believe in the principles of true democracy. We respect the wish of our supporters and we respect the wish of all Sierra Leone voters. We are not going to allow our votes to be stolen away.
The peoples power, is a mighty power and no amount of despotism will crack the power from the people.
PMDC, keep the momentum going and we are still in the race. Charles Francis Margai, we love you and thank you for been our leader in this election.” (Kathos Mattai)
Touching. I am touched. These words strike a chord, deep somewhere - that Charles Margai ( who else?) was able to provide the sort of leadership that attracted so many within such a short time. Vilifications from assorted jerks and nobodies like Mr. Johnny did not have the effects that they had intended.
Whether there is a second round or not, Mr. Margai will always stand taller in history by continuing to stand in that position and for the democratic principles on which the PMDC was founded.
The PMDC gains are impressive and already a great victory for all those who put their faith in the leadership and the party. The party has become even more attractive to many, and will surely be a refuge for many of those who do not see their future or their fortunes in the SLPP.
Some of the political scientists will be analysing the tremendous effects of this third force, which will continue to be a force - unless it joins forces with or gets absorbed into the SLPP from which it got an honourable divorce not so long ago. Indeed some people will have no choice but to have develop contempt for Mr. Margai if he should - after all that he and his people have been through, should then decide that he wants to compromise those principles in order to get married to Solomon Berewa and the SLPP – and have a honeymoon and the morning after only to be eventually bossed by him and kicked out again, before he becomes a threat to the leadership of that party…..
He has not been previously married to the APC.
There is the Krio saying “ole firewood noh aht for kaitch” but considering emotional and bodily chemistry - I don’t know – there is someone like Alhaji Momodou Koroma, he is handsome enough and not the old CKC master type and maybe he can do the healing trick, but as far as I can see Solomon Bee is hardly the one to light Charles Margai’s fire or invite him to the altar……

I know you are trying to be objective, but, you convinced some of us yesterday by your persuasive rationale why Charlie Boy will not be part of the slumping SLPP. The best scenario for the Berewa camp is for Charlie Boy to remain neutral and let the two parties duke it out.

You are soooooo right my dear brother!!! There is now silence from the BIG LYING mouths of APC. After their childish antics of spreading lies about the election results, they are silent when at last the official truth emerges. They are stupid morons. Why announce false results when eventually the true results will indeed be announced? It will not change anything. It just makes APC appear even more stupid than we know they already are. I pray that they will not start behaving like spoiled brats and resort to their usual physical attacks.

Ernest Koroma, I dont believe you will win the elections in our country, but if may God forbid you hap pend to will, please keep in your mind that Mohamed Alieu Iscandari is not qualified to hold any statutory position.
It is clearly stated in our constitution(the supreme law)that anybody convicted for a crime will not hold any public office, Alieu Iscandari was convicted of a crime in the USA. Our constitution also states that if it is proven that somebody is mentally incapable to hold any office, that person will not be qualified for appointment to such office, I have enough proof that Alieu Iscandari was checked into a mental health facility for a mental disease.
I am sure you still remember that I gave the documentary proves about Alieu in our last conversation in the USA.
Alieu does not have the moral standing to hold any position for which good character and sober mindedness are a prerequisite. I know for sure that if(may God forbid) you win, there are a large number for sober minded people with a clean record in your APC to hold any public office, please, expunge Alieu's name from your list of appointees. Alieu Isacndari is nothing but a little man of no significance because, he has a brain that has been destroyed by drugs and he is empty in his mind.
Finally, rest assure that if(may God forbid) you win the presidential election and you try to do anything outside our constitution, I ALPHA SAIDU BANGURA will stand up against you. I will ensure that you resign or be fired by parliament.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.LONTA.

You know very well that I have enough proof to show that you were put in jail for drugs(that is a crime) in this country. I also know a Mr.Deen who was put in jail with for the same crime.He is willing to attest to that.Since, you went to jail long before your father sent you to school(with our money),may be it did not come in your recocds,if the CA bar Association checked your back ground. It is also possible that they did not check your record before allowing you to practice.
My point is simple,because of your past record(which I know very well) you are not qualified to hold any political position in our country. If APC wins(GOD FORBID)and Ernest gives you any public office,I will make sure that you are removed from that office according to the laws of Sierra Leone.
If you want to take me to court,please do.Thank God we live in the USA.You have defamed me in this forum many times, but I dont care because I know you are doing it only because you hate me.
All what I am saying about you are things that are true and I stand by them.
I will always put Sierra Leone first.
I will also make sure that the wrong people like you never again hold any public office.We now need role models.
Alieu, you know, I know and God knows that based on your past record(in your family,your wife's family and the general public), you have no business in our politics.
Politics is about people.
Since you do not have a working chemistry with people, you do not have a place in our politics.

They can not challenge Cocorioko and now that it is apparent their god father is busy packing for retirement, I wonder whose dick Sylvia is going to suck next (excuse my French - I'm only human and angry).

APC is heading for victory"----Spokesman
By Gibril Koroma - Monday 13 August 2007.
APC publicity secretary William Smith has told the Vanguard today that his party already has over 50% of the votes announced and is likely to form the next government.It needs 55% to be able to do that.
He however did not dismiss the possibility of a run off. "SLPP is hoping and praying for a run off; we, as the opposition, should have been doing that," he said laughing. He is however very positive the PMDC will support the APC if such a scenario occurs. Referring to Charles Margai, he said: "I saw him wearing a red cap today".
He affirmed that the APC has swept all the seats in the Western Area and the north and has done fairly well in the other regions but he cautiously noted that results are still coming in and that the National Electoral Commission is yet to announce any results. NEC has promised to do that later in the week although it is rumoured that it will release preliminary results Monday evening.
The current results circulating in and outside the country were released by independent radio stations in the country led by the BBC-affiliated Independent Radio Network. Sources say only about 10% of the results have been released anyway.
Victor Reider, the SLPP publicity secretary, for his part, says a run-off is very likely, according to reports he has been receiving. Asked whether the PMDC will pitch their tent within SLPP ranks in case of a run-off, he predicted that even if PMDC leader Charles Margai declares for the APC, his supporters, who are mainly former SLPP supporters, will not follow him. He stressed that people should wait for the NEC announcement and stop making wild statements.

True supporters will continue to fight and defend their party to the end. As vociferous and analytical as Profs. Sia and Kelfalla were pre-elections, I expected them to be fully engaged during and post-elections as far as analyzing the whole electioneering process and making educated projections. The confidence that these two learned brothers had in their party is not showing any more now that it is apparent that their commander-in-theif, Berewa is well on his way to a long overdue retirement.
I know Sia Tiyaama (the real person, not the fake one) and I believe that he will be one of those folks that will sooner rather than later switch his party affiliation. He is a very good opportunist. Now, I do not know Kelfalla, but his silence is suspicious and I will not be surprised if he changes party affiliation too. Whatevr these two brothers have up their sleeves, I am challenging them to come out either in this forum or on the main home page of Cocorioko and share with us their educated take on what went down in Sierra Leone this past saturday. Guys, you can not use all your book knowledge just to criticize opponents and question their credentials, your book knowledge can be of better use and beneficial to all Sierra Leoneans if you can offer your advice and even lay out some suggestions on how to better govern Sierra Leone. We need strategies to help us move up the U.N. Human Development index, to get a sustainable source of electricity not just for Freetown but for every village in the nation, to get clean pipe bourne water, to build good roads and maintain the ones that we have etc. etc. Over to you Profs. Sia and Kelfalla.

Shembu, you really have me laughing now. Thanks, man!
If you really knew me, you would not expect me to discuss rumor and propaganda. You would also know that once the certified results are announced, I would view the ultimate winner as my president and the president of all Sierra Leoneans. Finally, if you knew me, you would know that I do not see political parties as underwear -- to change whenever one wants. I will remain a proud member of the SLPP regardless of what the ultimate results reveal and will continue working to make people like you see it as a best political party in Sierra Leone.
Have a great day, man. If you kin lick beer, go cole you at for now. Leh we wait for the official results.

SLPP ON COURSE FOR VICTORY
Despite what appears to be a very strong showing by the APC, the SLPP is on course for an unprecedented third term mandate as results keep coming in from our heartland. Based on our projection as of late last night the SLPP has maintained its support base, and made significant strides in opposition strong hold.
SLPP supporters throughout Sierra Leone and in the Diaspora must hold their nerves, and not be swayed by propaganda coming from opposition news outlets. Unofficially at the moment the parties stand as: SLPP – 52%, APC – 38%, PMDC – 3%, Other Parties – 7%.
The SLPP has lived to its reputation again as a democratic and peace loving party by conducting a free, fair and manifestly transparent election. Party stalwarts should be walking on water today because they belong to a party that has restored dignity and pride to Sierras Leone. Our next challenge now is to continue to improve their lives of our people once our mandate is confirmed. Stay tuned.

Some more election gossip from a source usually more reliable for fact and not for fiction: Is it possible: that the SLPP’s victories in Kenema and Kaihalun have been declared null and void - because of suspicion of fraud and the same with the only seat that the SLPP won in Pujehun? – a”place where there were more votes cast than people dead or alive.” – leaving the PMDC with 100% election triumph in Bonthe and Pujehun.

FREETOWN (Reuters) - Sierra Leone's opposition took an early lead on Monday as results trickled in from polls that international observers judged broadly transparent.
Saturday's ballot was billed as a test of the West African country's stability after U.N. peacekeepers withdrew two years ago following an 11-year civil war fuelled by "blood diamonds" and infamous for its brutality.
Unofficial results from 10 percent of the country reported by local media showed Ernest Bai Koroma of the opposition All People's Congress (APC) leading the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party's (SLPP) candidate, Vice-President Solomon Berewa.
"The APC has so far about 45 percent of the presidential vote, with SLPP trailing with 35 percent," said Ransford Wright, coordinator of the Independent Radio Network.
He said the People's Movement for Democratic Change, an SLPP breakaway party, had gained 15 percent of the vote.
"PMDC has split the SLPP's vote," said Wright. "It looks like we will definitely get into a runoff."
Full results are expected to take several days. If no presidential candidate wins more than 55 percent, a runoff will be held in September.
Saturday's vote was largely peaceful and foreign observers, who estimated turnout at over 70 percent, were upbeat.
"Election day was well-organized, positive and transparent," European Union mission chief Marie-Anne Isler said on Monday.
"If this continues it will mark a significant and positive development in Sierra Leone's progress towards the consolidation of democracy and peace," she said.
PARTISAN CHIEFS, MEDIA
But the EU's 83 observers also noted several concerns.
"The level playing field amongst contestants was undermined due to the partisanship of some traditional leaders and the dominance and advantages of incumbency enjoyed by the ruling party," Isler said in a preliminary EU observers' statement.
She also noted that state television coverage of the SLPP was "extremely dominant" and stopped short of endorsing the elections until final results are in.
"The period following election day will be crucial to the successful conclusion of these elections," she said. "We call on political parties to respect the results."
President Tejan Kabbah is stepping down as required by the constitution amid popular disillusionment at government graft, which many believe has drained away generous foreign aid.
Sierra Leone ranks second from bottom of the U.N. Human Development Index. The unemployment rate is about 60 percent, most people survive on less than a dollar a day, and the state depends on foreign aid for a third of its budget.
"All the foreign donors who assisted them; their money was not in vain ... It was well-organized and meticulous," said Ken Nnamani, polls observer and former speaker of Nigeria's Senata.
Expectations of change, whoever wins, are huge.
"Most Sierra Leoneans saw this election as a historic moment for their country," said Christopher Fomunyoh, senior associate for Africa at the U.S.-funded National Democratic Institute.

Aquainted with what? The fact that SLPP is out the door? When all is said and done, Berewa will be packing up to join Kabba in retirement. I do fervently hope that SLPP supporters will not switch party affiliation but rather stay to rebuild and reorganize. We need a strong opposition even if the number of seats of the opposition in Parliament is way smaller than expected.
This elections is a referandum on Kabba/Berewa led SLPP administration. Sierra Leoneans will no longer be used, refused, and then abused by any do nothing administration. 10+ years was more than enough, and now enough is enough. Good bye.

After Saturday's vote, unofficial results continue to be released with each of the two main parties claiming a lead in the polls. We expected our so-called political analysts who have featured so prominently on this forum to analyze the vote and make some projections.
Until we hear from NEC, party tallies as compiled by authentic party representatives at the polling stations are the closest we can get to the ballot papers. We do not expect to have significant gaps between NEC official results and the results contained in the tamper proof envelopes signed by the polling agents and the party representatives. If there are any, we do hope there is a mechanism for re-certification of the results
Tensions are building as every one awaits the 17:00 GMT statement by SL NEC. NEC has done a wonderful job so far, but anxiety is high at the moment and there is a need to minimize the tension.

We have heard from PMDC officials from Freetown that NEC's Christian Thorpe has voided all the Kailahun and Kenema elections results because they were not delivered in the manner they were supposed to have been delivered. Our officials say the envelops reached NEC opened marred with traces of fraud. This collaborates concerns by PMDC supporters on the ground that Kenema and Kailahun were not free and fair. On another note, PMDC won 4 seats out of 5 in Pujehun. It's also reported that the fifth seat won by the SLPP in Pujehun has been voided by NEC for the same reasons. We still maintain our position that the elections were conducted peacefully and now rely on the good stewardship of Christiana Thorpe to expose possible elections fraud. She had acknowledged
isolated cases of problems in a press conference and seems bent on fixing them. Our hopes and aspirations are in the hands of a determined woman to deliver the elections free and fair. She has performed well so far in conducting a violence free elections.
We wish her well.

It seems cocorioko is in a very difficult situation to appease all parties without trying to validate or verify the fact of what people sent to them. This is not what we called objective reporting. Now here is the confusion. Who is leading who? It is the responsibility of journalists to make sure what ever someone send them for publication be verified by them independently before publishing such material in order to maintain their credibility as an independent media. The recent article by an SLPP in the UK clearly showed nothing more than an appeasement. This is because the statement in red added by KABS KANU indicate that. I will advise that COCORIOKO verify all articles that are coming from party's supporter or do not publish it for any appeasement sake. They are destroying your credibility and the independence of this paper.

Dear Kabs,
The issue should not be about what SLPP or APC supporters would or would not do. We know that we are already biased. You, on the other hand, bristle at even the suggestion that you are. Hence, you have the onus to ensure that people do not see you as such.
Your sensational report that the APC had swept the Western Area and the Northern Province (on the basis of three percent of the sample) would not have caused a stir if you had simply stated that you got your figures from the APC or even the radio stations. You would have even been on safe ground if you indicated that your report was based on local media projections or Cocorioko's own projections. The rational reader would then have been free to decide the weight to place on them.
The people in Sierra Leone hear the reports on the various radio stations and make their own assessments about their credibility. We rely on people like you to give us objective information. This should put a greater burden on you to report only verified, objective facts and clearly state your sources. You did not do this in the article in question. On the contrary, you reported as if what you were reporting were official results. That's the problem! Just as Cain's murder of Abel has never justified murder, you cannot cover yourself with a fig leaf by pointing to what other journalists are doing.
From one who has great respect for you and appreciates your tremendous service to us, here is a little advice. Accept the fact that being a member of the fourth estate (like the public figures you criticize and opine about), you are also a public figure and therefore not immune from criticism. Understand also that criticism is not synonymous with intimidation, as you so wrongly stated in a subsequent article.
Sincerely,
Short-Sighted Kelfala

"If this continues it will mark a significant and positive development in Sierra Leone's progress towards the consolidation of democracy and peace," she said.
PARTISAN CHIEFS, MEDIA
But the EU's 83 observers also noted several concerns.
"The level playing field amongst contestants was undermined due to the partisanship of some traditional leaders and the dominance and advantages of incumbency enjoyed by the ruling party," Isler said in a preliminary EU observers' statement.
She also noted that state television coverage of the SLPP was "extremely dominant" and stopped short of endorsing the elections until final results are in.
"The period following election day will be crucial to the successful conclusion of these elections," she said. "We call on political parties to respect the results."
President Tejan Kabbah is stepping down as required by the constitution amid popular disillusionment at government graft, which many believe has drained away generous foreign aid.
Sierra Leone ranks second from bottom of the U.N. Human Development Index. The unemployment rate is about 60 percent, most people survive on less than a dollar a day, and the state depends on foreign aid for a third of its budget.
"All the foreign donors who assisted them; their money was not in vain ... It was well-organized and meticulous," said Ken Nnamani, polls observer and former speaker of Nigeria's Senata.
Expectations of change, whoever wins, are huge.
"Most Sierra Leoneans saw this election as a historic moment for their country," said Christopher Fomunyoh, senior associate for Africa at the U.S.-funded National Democratic Institute.

Kabs, there are people who always want to hear you say good about them and others who want to use your paper for their good. This is why I suggested that before you publish any article from any party supporter make sure you verify it independently because at the end they are the asme who are attacking you to be biased. So dont appease anyone. Just report the news accurately. That's all. Right now there are supporters who are intentionally want misguide the public and they will do anything and everything to succeed. They know that your paper is trying to do the best to be objective and you may want to give audience to both sides. They are taking advantage of that. Like the guy who sent you the article that you just published, you should have asked for his phone number and talk to him to get more fact from him and even request his source before publishing it. This what a good journalist do. Thanks for you effort in bringing the news.

Why are you guys so mad with Kabs ? Do not these figures change now and again ? These figures change and they have just changed. Th counting was being done in APC areas and APC was leading.
All Cocorioko was reporting was the figures . I am not trying to defend them. According to my sources, the APC was leading because the counting was going on in the APC areas . Now, the counting has come to the SLPP areas. The figures will change again .

Are you Ernest Bai Koroma? If not, then why use someone else's proper name in an inaproppriate manner?
Those who've been on the forum long enough may recall some of the embarrassments this inproper use of real names has caused in the past and will understand our reason for concern.
Forumites, what do you think? Cheers!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the reason while the "CHIEF IN EXILE" went "into exile" because he was using the name "Chief Alimamy Dura" and Alie Formeh Kamara complained, after which the Chief went into "exile" together with "Chiefdom Police and Chiefdom Elders". They have remained in exile ever since.
I agree with the Moderator that using people's Real name, especially at election time is outright wrong.

IRIN does not carry the views of the UN neither does it have any credence above credible newspapers. This is n outlet that gathers its news stories from roaming Journalists. It is possible that the SLPP has paid heavy bribe to one of these Journalists who could be a Sierra Leonean to distort the truth.
I have just spoken to a senior Official of the SLPP and you will clearly heard the aggrieved voices from the background. My contact says that they want to cheat the SLPP.
No way Solomon Berewa will have that amount of percentage save that of rigging.
First and foremost the UN is manned by human beings and they are not in anyway saints. Infact the UN has worst histories in conducting elections.

We have heard from PMDC officials from Freetown that NEC's Christian Thorpe has voided all the Kailahun and Kenema elections results because they were not delivered in the manner they were supposed to have been delivered. Our officials say the envelops reached NEC opened marred with traces of fraud. This collaborates concerns by PMDC supporters on the ground that Kenema and Kailahun were not free and fair. On another note, PMDC won 4 seats out of 5 in Pujehun. It's also reported that the fifth seat won by the SLPP in Pujehun has been voided by NEC for the same reasons. We still maintain our position that the elections were conducted peacefully and now rely on the good stewardship of Christian Thorpe to expose possible elections fraud. She had acknowledged
isolated cases of problems in a press conference and seems bent on fixing them. Our hopes and aspirations are in the hands of a determined woman to deliver the elections free and fair. She has performed well so
far in conducting a violence free elections. We wish her well.

Those who have been jubilating over a fictitious Ernest Koroma win better think twice. The latest news from Freetown indicates that Solo Berewa is now in the lead 41% to 39%. Many of us believe that Sierra Leone needs a change in leadership but the agent of that change cannot be the APC poverty spreaders. As much as I loathe Berewa, I fully support him against Ernest Koroma.

Failures of the SLPP government to improve socio-economic conditions in the country substantially are stark indeed. Relating to infrastructure, the most garing failure is the electricity situation - the stats concerning the King Tom Power Station are embarrasing if not garring reading for those who truely are concerned about the country. On the economic front, my chief criticism lies in the lack of ambition and vision the administration has.
Manufacturing industry development has been neglected despite its development being key towards job creation. Lip service has been paid to private sector development. Private sector development cannot take place unless utilities exist and operate in tandem with it, and VERY importantly finances - ie bank loans - are made available to entrepreneurs who have done proper market research as the key criteria. Sierra Leoneans as individuals just do not have the equity to finance industries like machinery making, textiles, or metal processing. Yet is is necessary that there exist an indegenous capacity in these industries. There ought to be ambition to master these, while not neglecting the need for profitability.
I could go on forever, but the garring flaw of lack of/misplaced ambition cuts across the political spectrum. Sierra Leoneans are negligent and lack dedication and woefully lack altruism when it comes towards performing collectively beneficial/necessary responsibilities. The nation will need a truely dynamic leader like Nkrumah or Rawlings to get out of mediocrity. I do not believe any of the leading candidates have that.

please give a source. Is it Independence Radio? when did you receive this news? Was it on Monday 13, august 2007 based on latest results from the same date?
what you say might be true but please, when you give such statistic, follow up with the above named data.
Otherwise it looks like misleading propaganda.

The next President of Sierra Leone must be tactful and magnanimous enough to bridge across the regional divide that exists in the nation. Let's not deny it, it is pronounced. Perhaps instituting the learning of indegenous languages of other ethnic groups from primary school, as well as stressing certain latently known commonalities, such as the predominance of the Mande (Mande not Mende) in the vast majority of tribes - I hate that word - could be a way to do it.

Ernest Koroma, I dont believe you will win the elections in our country, but if may God forbid you hap pend to will, please keep in your mind that Mohamed Alieu Iscandari is not qualified to hold any statutory position.
It is clearly stated in our constitution(the supreme law)that anybody convicted for a crime will not hold any public office, Alieu Iscandari was convicted of a crime in the USA. Our constitution also states that if it is proven that somebody is mentally incapable to hold any office, that person will not be qualified for appointment to such office, I have enough proof that Alieu Iscandari was checked into a mental health facility for a mental disease.
I am sure you still remember that I gave the documentary proves about Alieu in our last conversation in the USA.
Alieu does not have the moral standing to hold any position for which good character and sober mindedness are a prerequisite. I know for sure that if(may God forbid) you win, there are a large number for sober minded people with a clean record in your APC to hold any public office, please, expunge Alieu's name from your list of appointees. Alieu Isacndari is nothing but a little man of no significance because, he has a brain that has been destroyed by drugs and he is empty in his mind.
Finally, rest assure that if(may God forbid) you win the presidential election and you try to do anything outside our constitution, I ALPHA SAIDU BANGURA will stand up against you. I will ensure that you resign or be fired by parliament.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.LONTA.

Again, whether he is a lousy lawyer is of no concern to APC. What is important is his tenacity of purpose; his moral obligations; his spirited hopes for a better Sierra Leone; his cajoling and coaxing of the dispirited supporters who thought APC was a goner - he single-handedly uplifted the dispirited. This is what makes him credible to APC and, not your negativity, my friend. Again, who cares about your thoughts.

The situation is now being investigated. Similar showings of over-votings (whre there were more votes than registered voters), have cropped up all over Kenema, Kailahun and even Kono Districts. They are also under scrutiny.
The Nigerian fake ballots broke through in the Eastrn Province especially Kenema and Kailahun districts where there was much less vigillance as a result of prior intimidation tactics, bribery and threats by SLPP supporters. They need to be investigated.

There is plenty of wishful thinking on both sides, but based on registration statistics the trend of results is not at all too surprising. APC leads greatly in the north and the west, SLPP leads overwhelmingly in the East, it also leads in the south, though PMDC gives a strong challenge there as somewhat expected, while generally APC has very little support in both the last named provinces. It's very likely, near certainty that a second round run-off will take place. Please be rational in your statements.

Fellows,
I can categorically say that without SLPP intimidations in the days leading to election day, and without rigging the elections in the eastern Province, the PMDC party would beat out the SLPP in the South-East.
All indicators point to a rigged election in the Eastern Province. In Kailahun District I am told many polling stations polled votes in the thousands. That is hardly likely. There aren't that many people in those areas.
The votes must be recounted, if not a by-election held in at least Kailahun and Kenema districts.
John Benjamin, John Karimu, J.D. Alieu, Tom Nyuma and Eddie Nyalley of the NEC Eastern Province are alleged to be the master minds.

Is it because the party you wish to win is not doing so well you claim vote rigging? I assume when you say in the thousands it must mean over 2000. But from the polling stations I've heard on Independence Radio no polling stations in Kailahun reached 2000 people in number. Could SLPP's retention of support in the East not also be explained also due to non-confrontational campaigning?

If the APC of all parties wins the elections, this means the SLPP is really useless. It also means that the criticism we hear are true. The majority of the people are tired of the SLPP. I cannot believe that the APC will get enough votes to even talk about victory. Even if the APC fails to win, the fact that they came this close to victory proves that the people are tired of the SLPP.
What a shame! After more than ten years, there is nothing the SLPP can point to as their success. What a shame that the APC is making all this noise. Shame on Kabbah and Ugly {Worworliwor} Solomon Berewa.

Rumours are rife that Daddy Saj, the so-called crusader for anti-corruption, was caught, beaten and locked up for allegedly stealing ballot boxes in order to aid the woefully defeated Junior Navo. If this is true, to Daddy Saj I sing: You wae dae tiff ballot box/ Na corruption... Corruption/ Corruption...Ee do so..Pack en go...
At the start of the campaining I admonished Daddy Saj that by aligning with anything SLPP, he was making true the proverbial saying that WAE KAKROACH WAN ALAKI NA PAMINE BOTTLE EE DAE GO. BUT THE BABA NOR LISTEN. WELL SAJ, WAE FOLL NOR YERRI SHIII, EEE GO YERRI STONE.

It was the rag tag and propagandist outlet, awarenesstimes was giving a false news about Junior Navo's popularity. We all know that the SLPP was depending on rigging. But through our spirited efforts their plan was nipped in the bud by us.
Our generation is one that we not allow anyone to mess up with our Country. The same intense pressure we meted against the SLPP will be done against the APC if it fails to deliver this time around.
Hope and pray that the wishes of the people will be respected.
Congratulations to the APC and the PMDC for their action to redeem the poor.
Bravo to all.

As I said in March (re. Kabba Cooked SLPP's Goose), Berewa is plainly unelectable and the SLPP is dead. They were soundly defeated by the PMDC in the South and the APC in the West and North. Only massive rigging in the East kept them in the race; otherwise, the SLPP could not have won a single district. We can no longer afford to accept fraudulent results where the total number of votes exceed the number of registered voters. I was in Kenema a week before the elections and there is no way the SLPP could have won Kenema. All the incidents of ballot stuffing have involved SLPP partisans and big whigs. There should be a re-vote in the East.

The reason awareness times gave is not convincing in a journalistic point of view. First, this is not the 19th century where technology is not at its best. Sylvia can report the news anywhere she is hiding without a problem. She can update her website regularly even from the bush or hiding place. The fact here in my opinion is surbodination and loyalty. She does not want to report the bad news for the SLPP because she has taking so much from the SLPP that it is impossible to be objective. This prove that sylvia is not a journalist, but a propagandist.

I have looked at the pooling results provided by “Electoral Watchdog” and wanted to do a further analysis and assess their credibility.
It is estimated that there were 2,407,037 valid voters for the 2007 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, voting from 6,178 pooling stations scattered amongst 112 constituencies. This works out at approximately 500 ballots per pooling station. For purposes of this analysis, I am assuming that 100% of the electorate voted. This assumption is based on the following (a) very good weather; (b) timely arrival of sensitive materials (c) the orderly manner in which voting was conducted and the fact that most pooling stations closed earlier than the stipulated time of 17:00 GMT. One regrettable incident was that “voting in Kenema Blanga in Bo district started at 4:30 p.m. “due to the loss of the empty ballot boxes into a river earlier in the day on their way to the polling centre. The boxes were replaced and voting continued until close”
Assuming all voters cast their votes, counting 500 ballots per pooling station should take only but a couple of hours, the results made known and then sent to the NEC Tally Center for collating. Meanwhile party representatives at the polling centers would also transmit the results from their respective polling centers to their party headquarters, who are also keeping tallies of the results. It is already 31 hours after pooling stations closed and all counting should have been completed by now. Therefore what is holding up the final results right now is the process of collating the information at NEC headquarters and not the counting.
Therefore the results posted by “Electoral Watchdog” that only 7.12% of the votes cast have been counted maybe far away from the truth. It assumes that only 171,381 ballots have been counted in 31 hours. In the absence of any further information from NEC, I tend to go with APC spokesperson’s assessment which must be coming from his party headquarters. Therefore, if the results for 71 parliamentary seats have been counted (i.e. 63 for the APC and 7 for the PMDC) are known and assuming an average voting population of 23,214 votes per constituency, we can safely say that votes for 1,648,214 have been counted by now representing 68.5% of the votes and not 7.12% as indicated by “Electoral Watchdog”. Maybe he put the decimal point wrongly, and the figure should have read 71.2% which is reasonable and more likely to be the case.

News coming in today, 13th August:
"According to Radio Democracy FM 98.1
Only 600 of 6771 polling stations have reported.
There are 2,619,565 registered voters. Of that number only 254,730 votes have been counted.
No official results have been provided yet. All we are dealing with at this point are figures broadcast by Independent Radio Network (IRN) ie a coalition of 25 or so local Salone radio stations that got together to cover the elections
At 5pm today NEC will hold a press conference to present preliminary results."

I just called Freetown to validate what I have been reading in Cocorioko - both the online paper and the forum. None was validated and my source is very reliable. What I was told was that in the presidential elections, Ernest Koroma is leading Solo Berewah 46% to 38% and there many more constituences that have not yet been accounted for. So it is still too early to call.

Ask Kabs Kanu and those nostalgic for the terrible years of APC economic mismanagement, dictatorship, political repression and intolerance, shortages of almost everything, long lines to buy a cup of rice or a slice of bread, endemic and unchecked corruption, tribalism and nepotism, permanent power failures, absence of rule of law, thuggery, unpredent economic hardship, vouchergate á la Victor Foh, and worst of all, the bartardly birth of Foday Sankoh and his murderous ruf band.
It's a pity that in 2007, people are still putting ethnic and regional interests over and above national interests. The losers will always be the uninformed and uneducated. If they vote the APC into power again this time around, then they deserve to live in perpetual poverty, dictatorship, intolerance and economic mismanagement, as Ernest Koroma is a product and beneficiary of that rotten corrupt system Strasser and others booted out in 1992!!
SLPP and Berewa will come out as the victors in this election. Let the uninformed tribalists continue to build castles in the air!!!!

You can imagine him sitting on death row sentenced to execution for treason (for being unfaithful to the SLPP) - or for trying to overthrow the democratically elected government of the APC - you can imagine how he would be kneeling down before president Kabbah and begging for his life - and the promises he would make -to never do it again.
And when it is others lives who are at stake - where are your pleas on their behalf, to your beloved SLPP - in the case of Philip Neville, in the case of Paul Kamara - in the case of the 24 who were executed because the pleas from the whole world, from Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International fell on the deaf ears of the not so toothless Chimpanzee.

I definitely do not have the impudence to tell anyone how to talk on a public forum. I am merely pointing to the fact that sentences like "APC Captured Mile 91," can be too reminiscent of the just-ended civil war.
When the war began in 1991, it was very common to hear the BBC's Elizabeth Blunt, David Bamford and Mathew Tustiven {sp} talk about towns being captured or retaken by the invading rebels. Not to be outdone, the poorly motivated RSLMF would counter such reports by claiming the enemy had been beaten back into neighbouring Liberia. It was a ding-dong battle marked by the incendiary language of war.
In today's new dispensation when ideological battles should replace gladiatorial confrontation, well-chosen words can make a big difference. "APC has won Mile 91" will sound more political, and subsequently more attractive, than "APC Captured Mile 91."
Lest we forget, the war is over, but the aftermaths of war have wedded many youths to violence as a solution to every national impasse. Until we cross this long, electioneering bridge, we should be mindful of the words with which our messages are being stitched.

POLITICAL, Democracy as a political ideal is more entrenched in the united States than it is in Sierra Leone. The American electorate is less likely to resort to violence and national destruction. Conversely, we are very likely to jump over the abyss into war when restraint and skill are not shown by those leading our volatile mix. You either misunderstood the message, or simply have a very rudimentary grasp of the comparative politics between the United States and Sierra Leone. At this hour, a single, inflammatory comment from any of the party leaders can ignite the smoldering embers of destabilization. Our democracy, barely delivered by an ailing mother called Sierra Leone, runs the risk of catching every post-natal ailment. I hope this explanation clarifies the need for well-chosen political words as we walk on a tightrope toward democracy.

If you want to go and fight, then go and fight, but sierra leone will not fight in this time. We are not animals to fight always. We have showed that to the world in this election.

There is nothing wrong with using the word captured. May be you suffered the civil war indirectly, but I suffered that war directly both blood and treasure. So dont preach to me about the civil war.

Your loss is caused by the arrogance of your leadership and those of its supporters who would want to ram down our throats failed ideas and failed leadership.
Ernest Koroma is a humble man and it is his humility and vibrant youth and the hope for a brighter future that finally won over decrepit and arrogant leadership. Whoever advised your leader to skip the debates, underestimated the sierra leonean electorate because that act alone was picked up as an act in the continuum of acts in derision of the people. It is like Berewah feels like he does not owe the nation an explanation of what he intends to do as a leader. You cannot treat people with such derision and get away with it.

Congrats Alieu. Just returned from FNA and I would not be surprised if there is no run-off. Remember, however, that the votes were more against the SLPP than for the APC. I agree with you that Ernest is a humble man in comparison to Berewa, who sees himself as a "landlord" rather than a servant of the people. Let's hope the APC will do better this time around; otherwise, your party will be sent packing like the SLPP. When all is said and done, a peaceful alternation of political parties in power can only help strengthen our fragile constitutional democracy, Bravo, my brother.

See, Kandeh don't know his limitations. Guess what happened after he was rejected by NPRC? he turned against NPRC after he came back crawling to the states with his shameful tail between his legs. just like a rejected lover, he turned against his former heroes! Kandeh dont have no integrity, my brother. He be just an opportunist. nO WONDER HE IS A FAILURE
MaMMY Blessing, me say to you, don't spoil your reputation on this net with saying things like Jimmy Kandeh is a man of integrity. Can you say Solomon Berewa is honest? Hehehehehahah

What say you? I culled these current information from COCORIOKO:
Despite attempts to intimidate us, we will continue to report what we
receive. SPOKESMAN for APC Leader , Aplpha Kanu, said he is just back
from NEC periodic briefing at the British Council.
According to Kanu, this is how it stands presently for the APC : ( The
situation remains fluid as votes come in, according to Alpha Khan , as
he is known ).
Presidential : 57% Parliamentary seats : 63 . PMDC has 8 seats now (
All out of a total of 112 seats ). We will bring you more details later
today from the APC Command Centre , which is tallying all the scores
..Mr Kanu and the Centre will continue briefing us .

I have just spoken to a friend at mile 91 who was an SLPP supporter in that part of the country. He is the cousin of the Koroma family in Yonibana where Momodu Koroma hailed from. He told me with a disappointing voice that APC has won Yoni Chiefdom. He aslo told me that Mile 91 radio station is also reporting the same results for other parts of that area like malal mara, lunsar etc. So who ever said SLPP is winning in Mile 91 is a naked lie. The SLPP is running out of hiding places. No where to hide. The moment of truth is here ladies and gentle men.

Let us be practical and throw away our partisan hearts and deal with
some realities and/or possibilities. We earlier discussed the possibility of
APC winning the parliamentary election and go to a runoff for the
presidential election with SLPP. Let us assume Charles merges with Solo

sustain our emerging democracy and provide a feasible path to

Greetings my brothers and sister. Bravo to you all wether you are A.P.C, P.M.D.C, S.L.P.P. or what have you. We are Sierra Leoneans first.
What happened to our media: Internet services?
Don't you think our media, the Internet Services has let us down by leting people go looking for results from other sources? Peter Anderson would have kept us abreast with most of the results by now.
I am happy the elections went peaceful with no report of major violence. That is an indication that the peace is held.
We have to thank God and all our people for their love of the country demonstrated by the peaceful voting.
There are Major indications that Earnest Bai Koroma has won but we will not know for sure, perharps until after few more days. Nevertheless, we have to accept the outcome and braze ourselves for nation-building. In fact, the focus should now be on that, embracing one another, realizing that we shall ever remain to be a people of the same nation who must join hands to rebuild our country.

Brother Chez, the politics of yesterday is what has brought Sierra Leone backwards. Individuals belonging to separate parties have been undermining the efforts of the others for political gains or sitting on good ideas playing-for-time though these ideas could have benefited Sierra Leone. However, we saw a healthy politics this time round where the opposition allowed the out-going party to fall by their own weight.
My brother, if you have intelligent ideas but do not make a contribution towards peace, progress and stability of the country, you will be the looser because country will not gain and eventually you would sit and say, “had I known I would have made a contribution when I could.
As you may know, I did not discuss the last election because I used such a time to give the Kabba-Berewa team a chance to proof why they came to the stage during the heat of our brutal war. This would have given the people of Sierra Leone an opportunity to rest after tumultuous times by voting whomever they chose and would give them the opportunity to see for themselves what those voted-in can or cannot do. But after observations from reading and physically going to Sierra Leone in 2003 to see for myself, and after five years of relentless lies, I came to the conclusion that enough is enough. I found out that the said team was not fair to even their party; also, Hon. Berewa had started locking-people-up and framing them, the President continued to step on the people's voice by also locking journalists up. I saw this as a miss-road that is not healthy for Sierra Leone especially after the massive support we received from the International Community and the expectations they had for Sierra Leone. The said team’s action was not good for Sierra Leone nor was it good for the S.L.P.P. Therefore, I had to step to say something because Sierra Leone will suffer ultimately.
I guaranteed you that the A.P.C. leader and the new A.P.C. will listen and embrace your ideas especially if they are new and as good as they sound, are in the interest of Sierra Leone. What would only serve as an obstacle is when such an idea is geared towards sabotage, which I am confident your caliber will not warrant you to be: a saboteur.
Nonetheless, we must not give-up on our country for party affiliation. We must not see a golden opportunity as we now have, to build the country to a higher status and sit-by not saying or doing anything. When things go wrong, we are to blame not the leaders.
Any intelligent leader would open the communication channel to ensure that he gets feedbacks that will enable him tackle the problems of Sierra Leone.
I can assure you that the Hon. Earnest Bai Koroma has worked diligently to maintaining a character, a positive one, so as to live an admirable legacy. This is what has lacked in most leadership. For his image to go unblemished, shows that he desires to live a productive legacy that will keep on giving.
Be rest assured that when you continue with your ideas, they will be embraced by Sierra Leone, of which the Hon. Earnest Bai Koroma, a man who is revered for listening, will be no exception.
I know this gentleman personally and there was not a single day that I could not see him in his office while I was in Sierra Leone. At the moment, I have been observing him unbeknown to him; the same way I surprised most Sierra Leoneans especially those in the upper class or all classes for that matter who knew me personally. I can assure you that he will embrace your ideas regardless of whom you supported or what party you belong.
My brother, politics is an interesting game as you may already know, exemplified by your characteristically elegant discuss on this forum, that if utilized appropriately, all will gain. You a businessman like the Hon. Bai Koroma can understand each other better because as you may know, a business minded person does not hate, discriminate; rather he embraces. In that out of every conflicting ideas one is sure to gain if it is discussed thoroughly; when many are gathered, there is sure to be the best derived from such a gathering. He is not one that can look at a single aspect of things and make judgment. This is what I observed about you. Therefore, your ideas will be appreciated by the Hon. Earnest Bai Koroma, the new A.P.C. and Sierra Leone. But if you want to make a change, a vibrant change, hesitation must be secondary to the change and for the reasons you want to make the change. As your reason is to help solve the problems of Sierra Leone politics, your ideas will prove you right and not who does not agree with such ideas. Be encouraged that there is a new wave in the air that has gathered a momentum so heavy that no anti-change will withstand. Go for it!

This is for the likes of Sia Tiaama or 'Marda Mustapha" who have caused us defeat in this elections. They should have been focusing their critisisms on the gross miss management and miss rule that was being perpetrated by our people in the SLPP Government, forcing them to change their ways. Instead they were blinded by tribalism and nepotism and unbelivelable sycophancy. We will never forgive you guys, that includes your bogous friend 'prof Muana' too. You guys have been taught a very important lesson in life 'Humility', you will now realise that to read for a Phd is purely by choice and does not make one the 'higher being' that you are potraying in your articles. It is only when you are educated enough to hold a debate without taking it personal that you are indeed the 'higher man'. The people have spoken the truth wil never hide. The jury is now out on you guys and our undefendable SLPP.
My advice to you is to start your healing from the above vices by gracefully accepting the results of this election and cleaning up the contents of your articles. Direct your venom on the likes of Kabba, Berewa, JJ and co. Let us start the reformation of our party by being true to our selves.
Long live the truth.

Update on the Elections 2
Posted by: "Pierre Lightfoot- Boston" p_boston@yahoo.com p_boston
Sun Aug 12, 2007 7:28 am (PST)
PMDC is doing very well in the South, so far, details as follows;
PMDC won 4 out of 5 seats in Moyamba
Bonthe--PMDC won 3 out of 3 Seats
Pejehun--PMDC won 3 seats
Bo--PMDC won 2 seats
APC wins all 10 seats in Port Loko
APC wins 5 out of 6 seats in Kambia---APC lost the sixth seat by less than fifty votes---the constituency that APC lost is ''Ex-President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah Constituency.
SLPP are doing very well in Kenema and Kailahun
Results are not yet in for Lunsar, Makeni, Bombali and Mile 91----Its's important to note that these are APC strongholds---Indicated by voting patterns in the past
Kono----Results are coming in from Kono---but the pace is ''unbearable slow''
APC has started making leads in Kono---as polloing stations in and around Koidu town start reporting results
Unconfirmed reports indicate to me that APC ''might'' end up having more than 55% of the votes. Will confirm and keep all posted.

Of course, Sylvia will be history when the final results are announced and APC is decleared winner (No Need for runoff).
I am therefore imploring on the Rev. LeeRoy Kabbs Kanu to give a deaf ear to those losers (especially SLPP supporters) who have nothing good to say but to challenge your good work. Give us the news as you get it and forumites are free to continue their discussions of the results and pending announcement that the Hon. Ernest Koroma is the new President with fresh ideas to dig us out of the hole that Kabba/Berewa had plunged us into. Where is Sia Tiyaama and Prof. Kelfalla? Somebody tell them what is happening.

Don't mind Kallon. He is still in the make-believe sleeping world led by his sleeping-sickness "leader" --the ancient specimen who calls himself Berewa.
As for Kallon, he is wallowing in what the English politely call wishful thinking. More direct speaking Americans call it self-delusion.
Of course, in Salone, the chief joker used to say to people like Kallon: You faint late!

have faith in what is unfolding before our eyes. if we can win Kono in the manner we did, more surprising results will be revealed soon.. Was it not on this forum that we were told that kono is painted red and no one wants the SLPP because their son is standing - the Kono people voted otherwise. have faith and take heart - we will surely be the victors and make amends to the things that went wrong in our nation.
Again i implore the PMDC supporters to rethink their stance and accept our apologies for the way some of our
big men behaved. the future is not theirs any more but ours. We should not allow the likes of the APC to take us for a ride for another 25+ years. i will be 65 by then with not much to do for my country.
PMDC, understand that you now hold the keys to the 'spring bank' sierra leoneans desire. Open the doors and let spring be reborn. Anger, made me say a lot of things against Charles, I do not believe in resolving a conflict by formenting a destruction of the whole. charles margai did that I was furious and forgot that by getting angry and attacking him, I was prolonging the conflict. I now from the bottom of my heart with the utmost sincerity aplogise for behaving as he did - trying to resolve a conflcit by following a destruction of the whole. mr. Charles margai, my apologies and please know that our party now understands the power of neglecting to resolve a conflcit against a brother - when such happens the outsider always wins. Tighten your belt and comeback to join your roots to make our victory a reality for the good of the country.

At this point we have been made to realize that the APC is full of tribalists who do not like our country. They only want political power so that they will enrich themselves at the detriment of the whole nation.

Charles and the PMDC will move on as a political entity. He cannot resigned as a cabinet minister in the SLPP and return to be a cabinet minister in a fading party. Our aim is to wipe out the SLPP and take its place as the main rival to the APC. Lota

Chez,
Face reality and give up. You have lost and lost woefully. Also, do not apologise to Margai, too late. Besides leave that up to fools like Berewa. They were the ones that despised Margai, their hope was that they will rigg the elections but they forgot that we are in the 21st century and will not tolerate those cave-man type tactics any longer.
Did you say you are afraid to be 65 years old and the APC will still be in power? No need to be afraid, APC respects term limits and ofcourse the good work of APC will determine how long our reign will last this time. Remember, this is the "NEW APC".

You seem to think that the " rift " is psychological or social and not a difference in honesty, transparency, accountability, principles....you want to add corruption and impunity to Mr. Kabbah's seven national values - which lacks honesty as one of them, mercy and compassion - for the poor and suffering masses, as another value?
Berewa started visiting the mosques and praying to win votes there. Refused to debate the national issues on which the electorate was going to vote, and displayed contempt for the process. Like contempt in Court – when you refuse to answer a question – but this was like spitting in the face of the public and no wonder the VOA said this: “Political analysts say Vice President Berewa’s popularity took a nosedive after he pulled out of a recent presidential debate.

Do you really know what honour is? if your brother insults and dispises you but after sometime comes to ask you to forgive him - will you send him away becuase of honour? Cornie, this is not for your consumption - it is a message communicated to a particular people and they havereceived it. A sense of reason will awake the darkness engulfing them - they are our brothers and pride should not deter me from reaching out to them.
Cornie, i do not have to beg them or apologise to them - they know the danger in allowing us to be plunged into another 25+ years of hellish roads and only another rebellion can stop them. The divide will send all of us out of sierra leone as the APC will make sure they victimise everyone that did not support them. many will come to different lands to seek refugee leaving the APC to carry on their activities. A stitch in time mends many.
The PMDC kow what to do and they have taught our elders a great lesson - never neglect your brother to the extent that you do not appease him even when you have wronged him. They will not vote APC and therefore giving us a big margin.

Chronological assessment of age is not a correct way to determine age in relation to a persons everyday life. For instance, your age decreases as you become very inactive - that is according to my assessment. Cornie, to use yiou as an example - you stay in all day, eating and drinkind, sleeping and do a bit of exercises decreases aging, according to the parable of the Sphinx.

Chez, that is a very noble declaration. Are you from Lunsar, Marampa Chiefdom? My car broke down at Shell Company in Lunsar during my visit to Sierra Leone last year. It is simply the most devastated town in the country. Even by Salone standards, it is in a galaxy of misery of its own. There is more sorrow there than in Kroo Bay. If you are from that part of the world, please double up your efforts and help more. If not, maybe you can understand why facts on the ground are more eloquent than SLPP crocodile tears.

To all SLPP members and supporters - please note that all results coming in are from unofficial sources carrying propaganda undertones. the first full next results should be out by 7.30pm today. Please be rest assured that we are doing fine. The run off will be okay.
We are now calling on all PMDC supporters to understand the gravity of the sierra leone problem. I know most of you are hurt and bitter with the party but please remember that the same thing happened years ago. We should learn to resolve our differences without tearing each other apart. This is the situation we are in - our prides have dented us and allowed a dangerous force to emerge at the expense of our divisions. Sierra leone will not stand if this is the way we learn to resolved of differences.
I am begging you all to forgive the elders who have caused this disaster that is making us have to go onto a second round with the APC. if you guys can calculate the percentage you have and ours - we would have won the elctions first round. yes we underestimated you and hurt you badly. We are now begging you to please understand that pride goeth before a fall. We are still standing and this is no time to hold our pride high - we are one and therefore should stay as one.

Wonders never cease. Now go down on your knees and beg. Charles Margai and his supporters will never forget all the names and EVIL propaganda war waged against him and his family. you accused him of sleeping with his own kith and kin. you employed John Leigh to make all kids of damning statements against the man and his supporters and now you want him back? The APC was the only party that embraced his cause form the onset.
Didnt you guys know that ther would come a time when you would need the PMDC vote. You defamed the man in his profession, called him a "stupid Lawyer". YOu sure have forgotten that you must not burn bridges in your wake which you may need to cross again.
Charles and his votes would be stupid to go over to the slpp because all they would do is to sideline him, and find ways to lock him up like they did to Hinga Norman.
My Grandmother Matilda Ayodele Smith Turner (nee Pratt) always told me that "Wanders NEVER cease en if you live long enough you go see ajaible way pass ajaibatan' Walahai we don begin for see that.
Want Charles' votes, start by having John Leigh write on this forum an open letter of apology to charles his late father, his wife and family for all the things that he has said about them and then under his own name. Lets see how that goes with him first.

Is that what the improper suggestion you want to make to the honourable Charles Margai in the spirit of Mende hegemony / from opposition to accommodation in Berewa's bosom?

Charles and the PMDC do not have to come beg us - the neglect has caused this prolongation and therefore causing difficulties.
I am not a mende mr. cornelius, i am a Temne. SLPP is not a mende or any tribes party. It is a national party.
I believe there are others in the SLPP and PMDC who I believe feel the feelings I am feeling regarding the division that created a breakaway. This is a show of strength - that in unity you become strong and in disunity, the outsider stands to gain at your expense. Both SLPP and PMDC do not want that. Such is demonstrated in an anthropological perpectives in the narrative of the !Kung San (a nomadic hunter-gatherers that live in the Kalahari Desert in northeastern Namibia. They have little contact with the outside world. Their ability to live adequately in the Kalahari is a survival strategy developed over several hundred years). In the begining they were always fighting amongst themselves - but when one group is challenged by an outsider they all come together to fight as one even if they have had bitter differences. Over the years the younger generations nurtured the avoidance of angry words and violence so the occasional dispute is worked out before it becomes a major one. Since competition might bring dispute, they try to live as equals. Let this be the start of a strategy on how we try to resolve our pronblems. Greed and selfishness
has created this problems we now face in the face of a notorius gand I so dread - dread not because of my being but that of the average sierra leonean who still needs to learn to live in modern day sierra leone of the global partnership.

Ill deal with the rest of what you say in your posting - I take what you say as sincere and that you are very serious even in panic. But first please read this. I'll get back to you as soon as I can:
Here is what Lansana Gberie wrote about Charles Francis Margai - in which among other things he deliberately states that” Margai was Minister of Internal Affairs, in charge of the Police that so brutally arrested Norman” when he knows fully well that Chief Hinga Norman was minister of the Interior, that is in charge of the Police on the very day in that he (Chief Hinga was arrested by the said Police.
Did you challenge any of the points in that article? Now you want to beg for forgiveness so that you can get to where you want to go POWER.
Here is the part of a longer article that Lansana Gberie - and this part deals with Hon. Charles Francis Margai: I challenged all of it. You were quite. Missing in action.
Gberie:
” I am not so sure about Margai. I have met Margai a few times since he broke away from the SLPP (in the process resigning as a cabinet minister) to form his PMDC. He had lost the party leadership to his senior colleague, Berewa, and found that the party was no longer good enough for him. This is, of course, his right; and he may be well correct in denouncing the leadership process as rigged. What is less clear is why he thinks that that experience guarantees him majority support for the presidency - and the failure to realise such a vote an indication of fraud for which violence must be unleashed on the nation. The PMDC, for all the initial enthusiasm (now almost completely waned) that greeted it, is a very new entity, rather like a new bookstore. No one has voted for it, and it can therefore claim no electoral support anywhere. This is just by way of delivery of some home-truths. The PMDC is an untested party, the leadership driven largely by the belief - half complacent, half demagogic - that disenchantment with the ruling party in some quarters automatically translates into votes for its most vociferous critic.
As everyone knows, this is a dangerous delusion, and people close to Margai should be telling him this.
It is clear that no one is doing so. I met Margai last year with an American colleague. We were staying at the Cabenda Hotel, owned by Femi Hebron, founding member of the PMDC. My colleague and I - on assignment for the UK government - expressed an interest, to Hebron, in talking to Margai. Margai dropped by the next morning for a chat. I was impressed by his sense of commitment and determination. But throughout the one-hour long conversation, concentrated around what alternative vision he had for the country, the most concrete things I noted from Margai were, to the effect, "When my uncle" [Milton Margai] or "When my father" [Albert Margai] was in charge things were better etc The next time I met with him was at his party's offices in Freetown, where, at the All Political Parties Association (APPA) meetings, he vowed that he it was just a matter of time before he would be sworn in as President, and that the SLPP will not even come a distant second, so unpopular had the old party become. He claimed that he had no confidence in the NEC, the judiciary, and the police. I wondered how anyone wanting to be President of a country through a democratic process could be so contemptuous of its core institutions, but alas, Margai did not appear to get my point.
He already claims to have extra-legal instruments of coercion to defend himself and his interests. He has claimed to command the support of the bulk of the former RUF and Kamajor militia combatants, and therefore his party "has what it takes to protect its interests" - the quote is from the recent International Crisis Group (ICG) report (July 2007).
Margai was being asked in the context of recent home burnings (over 100 dwellings destroyed in a series of arsons) in Pujehun District, a stubborn stronghold of the SLPP. I investigated this incident while in Sierra Leone recently, and found that the burnings were indeed perpetrated by ex-combatants and other supporters of the PMDC who objected to pressure being put on a PMDC supporter by his brother, the Paramount Chief of Malen Chiefdom, an SLPP supporter.
No one has been arrested for these terrible offences, even though the Sierra Leone Police intervened to put a stop to it, and many of the perpetrators are well known. Isn't Margai, in a perverse way, right about the unreliability of the police after-all? The same kind of reckless lawlessness (and impunity) seems to be at the bottom of the recent violence in Kailahun District, another stronghold of the SLPP. Margai simply has little, or no, support in these areas, and what support he has is concentrated among the ex-Kamajors, who resent the treatment meted out to Hinga Norman by the so-called Special Court of Sierra Leone. (To the consternation of some of us - for long supporters of Norman - Margai has, since Norman's death, been claiming to 'continue' Norman's 'legacy'!

West Africa
Sierra Leone
The fact that Margai was Minister of Internal Affairs, in charge of the Police that so brutally arrested Norman, makes no impression on the man! He certainly did not resign because of the shameful treatment of Norman; Margai resigned simply because he saw his presidential ambition frustrated by others in his former party.) Margai seems to be in too much hurry. In every human endeavour the line between ambition and impatience, commitment and desperation, determination and over-zealousness, can be very thin, and it demands enormous good sense and nobility of purpose to maintain a fine balance. For an important politician in a situation like ours, maintaining that balance can make all the difference in the world.
Someone should tell Margai that it is simply not realistic for him to expect his PMDC to make significant electoral gains, let alone win the Presidency, in so short a time since its inception.
The two traditional parties, the SLPP and the APC, are still very strong. And whatever its many faults, the current SLPP government cannot, by any measure, be considered a failure: a government that has maintained the fragile peace, more than tripled enrolment in schools, built or refurbished hospitals and police stations across the country, constructed or refurbished hundreds of miles of roads, in the constrained circumstances that Sierra Leone found itself in since the war, cannot be considered a failure. This Presidential election, someone must tell Margai, is really a contest between Solomon Berewa and Ernest Koroma. "

Until the Berewa criminal syndicate wing of the SLPP starts profusely apologising to Charles Margai and his family for dragging them through the mud, the PMDC will not even begin to entertain supporting them. The SLPP should also public apologise to the Norman family for betraying Hingha, and to the country for all those wasted years of corrupt misrule. Only then will this true blue PMDCer ever forgive and forget!

Why are you trying to mess up with me? Because I said some sweet nothings? Don’t do it again because if I change gears, you won’t like it. I have been nice and even so far. Please understand that!
Are you the SLPP front man? Spokesman at this very late date? If so, then why has it taken you so long? Why now? Why not before? I'm only asking simple questions. I want to understand. Leave out Colin Turnbull and far-fetched absurdities into your presentation down as you are, upon your knees. Talk to me, us your san san boys and don't be ridiculous or DAFT!
Were you not one of Johnny E. Leigh’s cheer leaders when he was relentlessly attacking Charles Margai and the PMDC for the better part of a year, saying all sorts of wild and uncivilised things about him and me and all those who stood up in defence of Mr. Margai and the PMDC? Where were you then? Did you stand up for Mr. Margai or the PMDC? Did Mr. Margai curse you?
He said I was a drunkard scrounging on Social welfare (which I have never received in this country) called me and most of us idiots, consistently said that Charles was a moron who had failed in form four etc. Personally I think Leigh is a worthless good for nothing, buffoon who also thought that he was the best person in the world to lead the SLPP.....
Of course the SLPP will be sending not some boy boy but top delegation to the Hon Margai, so please avoid appealing to any lower instincts, such as " After all we are all Mendes" - that is surely not what the PMDC and his running mate and supporters is all about!

Now I see! Then you are included in my appeal to all PMDC members and supporters. I guess you were a very troublesome fella in your days as a Don Juan.
I do not have to "...hustle some philanthropic organisation..." to help my cause. Your threats can do no harm to me. We progress and mature by faults, therefore calling me weak will be transmitted to positive energy and by the time your threats reach me I will be strong to withstand them.
I think and bbelieve I know the Uk well as I do not remain idle. i am always on the move and have been and sojourn in all UK. Take note that I am a rolling stone - a traveller - UK is like my home now.
I trust you are asupoport of good values. Some idea just came to my mind - How about you be the Resident Chapter Head of Chez Winakabs Europe Communities for africa grassroot development. Your job will be as a ceremonial head. I will email you some details sometime next week for you to look at. We do not have to fight always. i believe we have a common design just that it is sometimes misplaced.
I could have won tyour PMDC seat in Kambia or Lunsar but I decided to stay in my party and make changes within.
Stay blessed and loved

The growing nostalgia for the APC – perhaps not so much a nostalgia for the past as a longing and hope for the fulfilment of promises that the forward- looking APC was putting out as an alternative future - an alternative to another five years of SLPP’s reign from 1996 – 2007, being extended to 2012.
If these were absolutely free and fair elections, then
this assessment would have been even more accurate:

1 PMDC taken 2 seats out of 4 announced in Bo, and 2 seat out of 3 seat out of four in Bonth.
2 SLPP is doing hopelessly in the North. Confirmed that kabba's bag carrier who wants to be VP lost his deposit in yoni. Kabba must stop elevating mediocres. Run off is now a certainty. If the APC score high in the first round then in the second round they will clinch it. Charles Margai will now decided the leadership of Sierra Leone. What ever the outcome, as I said before, politics will never be the same again in Sierra Leone with the advent of PMDC. Jacop Saffa, is C F Margai still a joker?Lota

You never understand anything you read, you were told. Now you can't count either? Why are you SLppers so hard to teach?
Repeat after me: The crimianl SLPP ruined Siera Leone for 16 years, the APC did the same for 10 years, and both wretched parties together spoiled our country for 14 more years.
Of the two arata parties, the SLPp is the bigger criminal party. That is why the people have kicked them out of power today.

I caution everyone that we are not yet out of the rigging thicket. Riggers are very sophisticated now. If the people who stood in those long, hungry lines believe that they have been cheated because the Berewa mafia "made an offer to Christian Thorpe that she couldn't refuse", then it is going to be Hell in Salone!
Whoever wins a massaged victory, will not be able to govern. No one should be allowed to pull an Obassanjo on Sierra Leoneans. We hold our fire for now as we await the results. However, we are already seeing a troubling pattern emerge.

As mere mortals, we should not engage in slippery conversations with Rev. kabs, he is a Godly man and God will be his judge. Please refrain from making slippery remarks on this ordained man. We should learn to respect all powers that be for they are ordained of God. God has the sole power to criticise and deal with them in front of our eyes. Please ignore his comments/statement/remarks.

Folks, please let us thank Kabs-Kanu, for setting the stage for chaos in Sierra Leone. We thank God it did not happen with the Nyuma Wahala headline he carried. But i am pretty sure if SLPP emerges as the winner with his early call in favour of the APC, no doubt they, the APC youths will go into the rampage. At that time you will bury your head in shame if you have one at all. Becareful,i know you want your folks to empty our treasury like they did before but please wait for NEC to call the results. That's what all sober-minded Sierra Leoneans are waiting for. We want true democracy in our country. We thank the SLPP for taking the first steps towards that road. Let me make it clear to you KABS, if at all the APC emerges as the winner we will not let them take us back to the days of Siaka Stevens and MOMOH. You guys will have to kill all of us before that will happen, OKAY!. So don't be excited yet because i am sure you are one of those that benefited from those dark days.

Election Day: Sierra Leone Votes on Pins and Needles
Published: 11 August, 2007
Freetown, Saturday- Polling centers in Sierra Leone today officially opened at 7 a.m. to queues of anxious voters with great expectations. But hopes of a peaceful, fair and violent free election have been blemished by incidents that have raised suspicion especially among opposition members. There have been reports that Resident Minister Alex Kargo in Makeni, Northern Sierra Leone, has been arrested by police for attempting to vote twice.

Considering the poor communication, bad roads, and that, even in the best of seasons, it usually takes days for results from the provinces to be tallied and reported, what's your motive for your misleading headlines? Oh, I see! To claim vote-rigging if your hasty rumor-based reporting and headlines turns out to be false!!
You are a reverend and a journalist. Or so you claim. Wait until the Electoral Commission announce the result; instead of already calling the elections on premises you and I know are false!

Here’s a rough but accurate translation of the article in Dagens Nyheter, the leading Swedish Morning newspaper:
http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=554&a=679750
Armed guards at the ballot counting.
Sierra Leone’s presidential and parliamentary elections started chaotically in some places with interminable queues and ballot materials which were not delivered on time. But the Electoral commissioner was satisfied and there was a high turnout of voters.
The counting of the ballot started as soon as the polling stations were closed, but in the east end of Freetown huge crowds of teenagers tried to stop the counting process. The police had to use teargas to disperse the youngsters.
The assistant police chief Richard Moigbeh said that teenagers tried to storm the Election headquarters and when this was resisted they built barricades and stopped all traffic.
“When the police got there the youths started getting violent and we thought that the best solution was to take a few canisters of teargas to drive them away, and it worked,” he said.
After the teenagers attempt at storming the headquarters, armed guards were placed outside all the premises in the area in which the vote counting was going on………….
There were long and winding queues on the wet and muddy (clay?) outside the 6,171 polling stations in the country, but by closing time it seems that the great majority and succeeded in casting their ballot.
The EU ( European Union’s observers were satisfied/ happy, even if their leader Marie-Annie Isler Beguin said, “ It’s not only the Election Day that is important but equally important is how the political parties handle/ manage the elections results”
The current vice president, the government’s party SLPP’s candidate’s Solomon Berewa’s leading/ frontline contender for power is the APC’s Ernest Koroma.
There are seven presidential candidates taking part in the elections but the fight is between the SLPP and the APC. If none of the candidates gets 55% then there will be a second round………..”

You want to correct it?
I have a DN subscr1ption and read it everyday, and understand it as perfectly as you understand Mende ....and as I undesrtand English which is my mother tongue.
So Kalos hold yourself responsible for being a who you are.
Do you have anything else of any importance to spill ?
THis was my reply to one of your type who had the temerity to say that the APC would not ahve this and that:
It is to you too - my typos? I was in ahurry , got other things to do too. THis too is to YOU:
This is what I don't like about SLPP people, this kind of slack talk - and you should be ashamed of yourself about the last statement which is so typical of some of you guys and has characterised the whole SLPP childish scare and smear campaign about the APC, when you cough up such unjust and unfounded accusations clothed in omniscience such as
”The APC would have never allowed such to occur." As if the Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma and all the good and long suffering the Sierra Leoneans in the APC are a bunch of savages ……
We are talking about the present and the future and you are stuck and wagging that your membrane in the past in which you are fixated – the way a doggy smells an old bone and has to be dragged by the collar, jerked away by his master – and in this case Berewa is not there to do it, since he himself has his nose stuck in that bad smell. As if something interesting – some bitch just left her perfume there. Where? Where the smell inheres…
The very high participation of people some with empty stomachs no doubt - who defied weather conditions and equipped themselves with patience and fortitude – is a testimony of their determination – and their belief in the power of one man one vote democracy – that is why it will be impossible for the SLPP to rig and win and stay in power. Not when ordinary people show such democratic spirit!
Look the whole country has to be congratulated - the one country one people - ( although the SLPP's strongest showing is where it is to be most expected , namely in their ethnic strongholds - the whole country has to be congratulated - and I don't know about you, Sheku Kallon, but I'm feeling proud and much relieved that Mr. Berewa's dire prognostications - are unfulfilled - the very excuse that he drummed up for refusing to debate Hon. Ernerst Bai Koroma and Hon. Charles Francis Margai that he would not do so unless they denounced violence - the very people who had been victims of near assassination by some SLPP hoodlums - and how would we be celebrating a peaceful elections achieved , without the co-operation of all the accused? Imagine the restraint and maturity that that everybody has showed - waiting patiently in the rain, and waiting patiently in the sun like " Fulani Cattle” - you know that poem.... so congratulations to us all. My friend Farry, a musician from Zimbabwe encouraged me Friday afternoon to hope for the best that even in the Congo there was only sporadic fighting in the hills ..... Poe of Gambia was marvelling at the strength of the opposition, Luke of United States was also most positive and said that he was praying - well, we HAVE SHOWED THE WORLD at least that - as the DN says, standing on our own legs we could conduct peaceful elections - now what remains to be seen is the extent to which they were free and fair and how the counting of the ballots and declaration of the results will be received and how the winners and the losers will accept the results- and if the results are foul or fair.
The APC is no dinosaur, nor is the Palm Tree - people learn from their mistakes; this is the most violence-free and the most peaceful election that has ever taken place in Africa...Congratulations to all for such discipline, such patience and such self-restraint of the individual and the collective will.
Sheku Kallon, the APC built a lot of schools in Sierra Leone...and many of the SLPP loudmouths of today got their education there..... Lets stop all this pretence and nonsense talk about the APC - this is 12th August 2007 and the APC has a lot of able people and so has the PMDC and of course, the SLPP.
Congratulations to us all. Dagens Nyheters print edition (this morning has the headlines,
“Sierra Leone holds peaceful elections”.
The internet edition with the latest update starts with these two sentences which I translate:

Sierra Leone’s presidential and parliamentary elections started chaotically in some places with interminable queues and ballot materials which were not delivered in time. But the Electoral commissioner was satisfied and the there was a high turnout of voters.
Cheers everybody!

It was not my intention to get you all excited this morning. Mr.
ENGLISHMAN, I am not a MENDE, but I will proudly accept the
association thereof. In addition, English can be your mother tongue,
but you might make mistakes in translations. Don't rely on artificial
intelligence softwares in making absolute translations. I am an
infrequent participant in this chat room, but often read your
contributions which I found extremely interesting and well organized.
By the way, I am a Temne and also a centrist in terms of Sierra Leone
politics. I support your views in terms of Sierra Leone politics. I
strongly recommend you reread my response to your posting and you
might get a better understanding of my comments. Let us continue to
share ideas in this forum and learn from each other in our efforts to
stimulate the emerging democracy in Sierra Leone. Continue the good
work and have a good day.

Dear Kalos,
Mamouton and sorry about all that.
Congratulations on being Temne, the Temnes are great and wonderful people. Temperamentally I am Temne, and the greatest of my Sierra Leone heroes is the great Bai Bureh, a Temne. And please read Leo Spitzer’s eulogy of this great man, read how Leo Spitzer humanises him in his book “The Creoles of Sierra Leone” whilst many a Temne scholar is still busy writing stale air about everything else and nothing.
Bai Bureh is one of the illustrious illustrators of the position of “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!”
Sorry about the general irritation caused by some the forever whining SLPP jerks. I just banged
