Dr. Ibrahim Bangura Gains Momentum in APC Flagbearer Race

Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, a leading candidate for the opposition All People’s Congress (APC) flagbearer position, is gaining confidence about winning the party’s nomination at the National Delegates Conference in Port Loko City. His supporters, both in Sierra Leone and abroad, are collaborating to identify and secure delegates' votes. Bangura’s campaign appears to be gaining traction nationwide and within the diaspora.

Observers suggest that Bangura is currently ahead in the race for the APC’s 2026 flagbearer nomination. Recently, prominent politician Hon. Finda Diana Konomanyi publicly endorsed Bangura during a visit to Kailahun District. She urged delegates to prioritise humility, capability, and quality leadership in selecting a candidate, describing Bangura as the best embodiment of these attributes.

Bangura has garnered significant support from local and international party members, who praise him as the only credible choice for the APC and Sierra Leone in the upcoming elections. His supporters highlight his trustworthy, honest, and transparent nature as essential qualities for the country’s leadership. They also commend his development-driven approach with a proven record of service and community engagement.

A passionate supporter described Bangura as a leader who represents a new era of leadership that prioritises people over politics, committed to delivering results that uplift families and strengthen the nation. Among APC members, there is a clear demand for a leader who inspires confidence, restores hope, and focuses on the needs of the people rather than personal ambitions.

Bangura is increasingly seen as a figure representing a different kind of leadership, characterised by trust, competence, and a commitment to national unity and progress. He is viewed by many as the people’s choice, a symbol of hope and political strength, ready to lead the APC into a transformative future.

Reports suggest that Bangura performed exceptionally well in the recent District Executive Elections and lower-level elections conducted by the party across various regions. His campaign has been gaining momentum, with supporters collaborating to secure delegates and promote his candidacy.

As the APC National Delegates Conference approaches, Bangura's supporters are optimistic about his chances of winning the flagbearer position.
