As Battle for SLPP Flagbearership intensifies.. KEILI WINS AAA SOUTH EAST
Andrew
Karmoh Keili of the Alliance of All Aspirants has been declared winner in the
South East Votes. Andrew Keilli who
comes from the East defeated Munda Rogers who hails from the South by 37 to 33
votes.
Chief
Ernest M. Ndomaina who served as Chief Electoral Commissioner for AAA said
before the votes were cast, they were in that meeting as a family and not a show of contest as they were
charting the way forward in the party.
The delegates
came from the seven districts of the South East of Sierra Leone.
"Some
of us were concerned about the party's dream. AAA has done something that is
very unique and for which we have being praying. We believe that any form of
election will bring lot of division within the party. We don't want to conduct
an election." said one of the delegates.
Mohamed
Sandy said the palm tree is togetherness and as a result they were in the
process as one family with togetherness as a party.
"We
are not talking about a flagbearer or running mate. We are talking about
south-east leader. Seven groups that represent the south-east."
Is his
address, Andrew Keili said, “I am happy for you to be here today. It is a happy
and sad day. This is showing the strength of the Alliance. The Alliance stands for constitutionality. We
are still together as Alliance. North West did theirs peacefully. I am
appealing to you all to take this consultative conference seriously. The
Alliance will still stand."
Mr Munda
Rogers said the process should be peaceful and that they should not divide the
south and the East.
He furthered," most of us are from the
south as well as the east. Division has ruined the country. I have respect for
Andrew Keili we have been working and we are very happy. We need to get APC out. As long as you
believe in what you are doing, I am very much happy. I want you to do it
honestly and more sincerely."
