Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, has extended a warm welcome to Engineer Amara Jambai Kanneh and his team after his recent contest for the position of SLPP National Chairman.

The courtesy visit, held at the First Lady’s office, was described as a gesture of mutual respect and maturity within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). In her remarks, Fatima Maada Bio praised Kanneh’s decision to visit and used the opportunity to remind party supporters that “election is not war.”

She stressed that democracy thrives on peace, tolerance, and respect for outcomes, encouraging members of the SLPP to remain united despite internal leadership contests.

The meeting has been seen as a strong sign of reconciliation within the party, with the First Lady playing a unifying role in bridging divides. Beyond the SLPP, the event carries a broader message of political harmony and the need for leaders in Sierra Leone to prioritize peace and national interest above rivalry.
