Sierra Leone Telegraph: 20 March 2023:
If the results of pre-election survey poll conducted last week by SweetSalone editor and publisher – Vickie Remoe are replicated on June 24, 2023, then President Bio and his ruling SLPP will not only be out of office, but will say goodbye to their dream of taking control of the running of the country’s capital Freetown.
The survey poll conducted by Vickie Remoe asked a sample of voters to say who they will vote for as Mayor of Freetown and President of Sierra Leone, respectively.
The results are staggering: 67% said they will vote Samura for the presidency, with Bio trailing behind on 33%.
Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr polled 78% against her closest rival – SLPP Gento who scored 22%.
If these results are mirrored nationally at the presidential and general elections on June 24, the main opposition APC will be back at State House and in control of the capital Freetown.
Sierra Leoneans are yearning for change of government, after what has been described as five years of economic misery and hardship, caused by poor leadership at State House, an inept finance minister, and a round-peg in a squared-hole classroom professor heading the country’s central bank.
