In a pivotal moment for Sierra Leone’s political landscape, former Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Honorable Segepoh Thomas Solomon, ascends to the prestigious role of Speaker of the Sierra Leone Parliament.
Amidst a competitive electoral process, Members of Parliament convened in Freetown to cast their votes, culminating in Thomas securing a resounding victory with 128 votes, marking a significant mandate for his leadership.
The election, which saw a tense fourth round of voting, initially featured two formidable candidates: Hon. Sengepoh Soloman Thomas, nominated by the ruling Sierra Leone’s People’s Party (SLPP), and Hon. Daniel Brima Koroma, put forth by the opposition All People’s Congress (APC).
Thomas’s triumph underscores a pivotal moment in Sierra Leonean politics, signaling potential shifts in parliamentary dynamics and setting the stage for his stewardship in the nation’s legislative affairs.
Hon. Segepoh Solomon Thomas replaces Chernor Abass Bundu as Speaker of the Parliament following his resignation.
This is a loudable one by our beloved country, Bravo and welcome hon speaker of the house.
