Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, the leading candidate for the opposition All People’s Congress (APC), is confident about winning the party’s flagbearer election at this year’s National Delegates Conference in Port Loko City. Reports indicate that Bangura’s supporters, both in Sierra Leone and abroad, are increasingly collaborating to identify delegates who will support him during the vote.
As the convention approaches, Bangura appears to be gaining traction among party members nationwide and within the diaspora. Observers suggest he is currently ahead in the race for the APC’s 2026 flagbearer nomination.
During a recent visit to Kailahun District, prominent politician Hon. Finda Diana Konomanyi publicly endorsed Bangura, urging delegates to prioritise humility, capability, and quality leadership in their selection of a candidate. She described him as the best embodiment of these attributes.
Bangura has garnered significant support from both local and international party members, with many praising him as the only credible choice for the APC and Sierra Leone in the upcoming elections. His supporters highlight his trustworthy, honest, and transparent nature as essential qualities for the country’s leadership.
A passionate supporter stated, “Dr. Ibrahim Bangura is development-driven with a proven record of service and community engagement. He represents a new era of leadership that prioritises people over politics, committed to delivering results that uplift families and strengthen the nation.”
Among APC members, there is a clear demand for a leader who inspires confidence, restores hope, and focuses on the needs of the people rather than personal ambitions. In this context, Bangura is increasingly seen as a figure representing a different kind of leadership, characterised by trust, competence, and a commitment to national unity and progress.
He is viewed by many as the people’s choice, a symbol of hope and political strength, ready to lead the APC into a transformative future. Reports suggest that he performed exceptionally well in the recent District Executive Elections and lower-level elections conducted by the party across various regions.
