WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE SLPP? IS THIS OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE COUNTRY?
A source has told the Spectator that Kandeh Yumkella has said he will not run for leadership in the SLPP come 2018.
His- Kandeh Yumkella- breaking quietness to our source came owing to endless guess-talk that he intends take up mantle of Presidential leadership in the Sierra Leone People’s Party to challenge any of APC’s appointed Presidential candidate come the 2018 elections.
That Yumkella has made it unambiguously clear that he is neither SLPP nor has he any interest vying for the party’s top seat anyhow.
Such revelation, our source said, has somewhat discouraged the membership of the already established KKY and Project Yumkella movements, whose singular intention is to unseat the incumbent SLPP candidate Julius Maada Bio.
Unconfirmed revelations have it also that Yumkella wants President Koroma make him his inheritor in the APC as he takes his exit in 2018.
It is, of course, true that Maada Bio’s oppositionists in the SLPP have had endless moments organizing themselves into camps in support of Yumkella; a man they say can make their party returns to power in 2018.
News on all sides (APC & SLPP) speculate that Yumkella’s backing off the race for SLPP leadership came shortly after his man of choice- Alie Bangura- loses to Somano Kapen in the recently held party chairman and leadership contest in Bo.
That had Alie wins he would have been the man brushing his way for Presidential leadership in the SLPP.
“The likes of Somano Kapen,” our source said, “is Maada Bio’s picking, whom people say will not sit by and see his man of selection beaten at pools come the next SLPP Presidential contest.”
