May 1, 2025 Claims that Honourable Manso Dumbuya will run unopposed for the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) Western Regional Chairman position have sparked debate, with many arguing that such assertions are misleading and fail to acknowledge the strong candidacy of Chief Abu Hindolo Moseray.
As the SLPP prepares for its regional leadership elections, the race is shaping up to be a contest between entrenched experience and innovative vision.
Reports suggesting that other contenders have withdrawn lack substantiated evidence, and the notion that delegates have unanimously rallied behind Hon. Manso Dumbuya oversimplifies the diverse perspectives within the SLPP’s Western Area membership. Party supporters, particularly younger members, are increasingly vocal about their desire for fresh leadership that brings new ideas to address contemporary challenges.
Chief Abu Hindolo Moseray has emerged as a compelling candidate, embodying this call for change.
While Hon. Manso Dumbuya boasts decades of service to the SLPP, critics argue that the evolving political landscape demands innovative solutions that resonate with today’s generation. Chief Moseray, known for his deep understanding of party dynamics and commitment to addressing grassroots concerns, is seen as a relatable and responsive leader. His candidacy offers a forward-looking approach tailored to the needs of the Western Area Region.
Chief Moseray’s vision emphasizes unity that transcends tribal affiliations, challenging the portrayal of Hon. Dumbuya as the sole unifier. By actively engaging diverse voices within the SLPP, Moseray ensures that all perspectives are represented, fostering inclusivity. His platform prioritizes accountability, transparency, and youth empowerment key pillars for strengthening the SLPP’s position ahead of upcoming elections.
Chief Moseray focuses on the people’s needs, not personal legacy, said a party member from Freetown, reflecting growing support for his candidacy.
Hon. Manso Dumbuya’s notable career is undisputed, with years of dedication to the SLPP. However, many in the Western Area argue that the region deserves a leader like Chief Moseray, who combines innovation with grassroots engagement. His commitment to genuine representation and modern governance aligns with the aspirations of a region seeking dynamic leadership.
As the SLPP Western Regional Chairman election approaches, the contest between Hon. Manso Dumbuya and Chief Abu Hindolo Moseray underscores a broader debate within the party: balancing respect for tradition with the need for transformative change. With delegates preparing to cast their votes, the outcome will signal the direction of the SLPP’s future in the Western Area and beyond.
