Freetown, 16th July 2026- Dr. Ibrahim Bangura has unveiled his vision for the All People’s Congress (APC), pledging to unite the party under disciplined leadership and inclusivity as he seeks the flagbearer position and ultimately the presidency of Sierra Leone.
In a statement, Dr. Bangura emphasized that unity is the cornerstone of his agenda, arguing that without it, the APC cannot effectively lead its supporters into government. He defined unity as respect for the party’s constitution, adherence to democratic values, and recognition of Sierra Leone’s diverse perspectives and identities.
Key Pillars of His Vision
Unity and Discipline: Bringing together aggrieved factions, resolving differences, and ensuring all members compete under fair rules.
Inclusiveness: Building a party that reflects Sierra Leone’s ethno-regional, gender, and demographic diversity.
Grassroots Mobilisation: Strengthening participation at the community level to modernize the party’s national posture and improve electability.
Empowerment: Creating space for women, men, and youth to serve and thrive without ethnic or regional disadvantage.
Dr. Bangura pledged to provide selfless and effective leadership, positioning the APC as a vehicle for sustainable development and national transformation. He stressed that Sierra Leone’s progress depends on galvanizing the collective energies of all citizens, rather than dividing them along ethnic, linguistic, or political lines.
“I will lead an APC where no one is advantaged or disadvantaged because of their ethnicity. I will build an APC where women, men, and youth are empowered to compete and serve,” he declared.
Dr. Bangura’s vision seeks to reposition the APC as a party that mirrors Sierra Leone’s rich diversity, with leadership structures and government formation reflecting inclusivity. His message resonates with calls for a departure from divisive politics, aiming instead to foster unity and modernisation.
As the APC prepares for its flagbearer contest, Dr. Bangura’s blueprint sets out a roadmap for a united and competitive party ready to challenge for national leadership.
