Impeccable sources in the main opposition All People's Congress (APC) party have hinted that most stalwarts close to the erstwhile President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma across the country have tipped Hon. Chernor Ramadan Maju Bah to lead the party to the 2028 polls.

According to reliable sources, former President Koroma has passionately appealed to his loyalists in the APC to consider voting for Hon. Chernor Bah, aka Chericoco, to lead the party to the 2028 national elections.

Sources say the former President and APC Chairman and Leader has distanced himself from rumours trending on social media that he was supporting Dr. Ibrahim

Bangara of the Fourah Bay College (FBC) to be the next party leader to take the party to the polls.
The sources furthered that former President Koroma would have thrown his weight to Hon. Alhaji Minkailu Mansaray, if his health condition was not deteriorating, given his loyalty to the party.

Chericoco is very popular among the grassroots support of the APC. He is described in several party quarters as an old broom that knows all the corners of the APC party and the country, noting that for decades, Hon. Chericoco has not only been a pillar of the APC, but he has also walked the length and breadth of Sierra Leone, connecting with communities, listening to the people, and defending the core values of the APC.

Chericoco went from party support to Parliament, Deputy Speaker, Deputy Opposition Leader, Leader of the Opposition to running-mate in the 2018 and 2023 presidential elections.

Currently, Chericoco stands as one of the APC's most seasoned and credible politicians. He isnot just a politician,: he's both an asset and an institution within the party.

At a time when the APC needs unity, strategy, and experience, Hon.Chericoco's deeds, institutional memories and unmatched resilience are invaluable. He knows the corners of the party, the nation and the hearts of the people.

He understands their challenges, their hopes, and what truly means to serve, lead, and to stand firm when it matters most.
