By Mohamed Foday Bangura, Esq. (Socrates).
In a political arena often dominated by familiar names and recycled promises, Dr. Ibrahim Bangura has emerged as a new force of hope and conviction. Contesting for the position of flag bearer under the All Peoples Congress (APC) Party, he carries a bold and inspiring message: “Heal, Unite, and Build.” His candidacy signals not just ambition, but a fresh approach to leadership rooted in integrity, vision, and service.
Dr. Ibrahim Bangura has held several positions as a consultant for successive governments to prepare the paperwork for the establishment of a number of institutions. Free from the baggage of failed policies, corruption scandals, and political entanglements, he represents the possibility of a clean break from the past, a leader untainted by the system, yet deeply connected to the realities of ordinary Sierra Leoneans.
For decades, our nation has struggled under leadership that too often prioritized self-interest over service. Citizens have grown weary of political cycles that promise change but deliver disappointment. Dr. Ibrahim Bangura represents the alternative Sierra Leone has been waiting for, a leader with no ties to the mistakes of yesterday, but with a proven record of peacebuilding, community leadership, and activism across the world.
Born and raised in the heart of Freetown, his life and career have been marked by integrity, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to people. He has demonstrated through action, not rhetoric, that leadership is about solving problems and delivering results that transform lives. These are the values he now seeks to bring into national politics.
At this critical moment, Sierra Leone needs more than experience in office; it needs experience in achieving real results. It needs a leader who understands the struggles of the people and has the courage to confront them with fresh solutions. Dr. Bangura embodies that vision. He speaks to the aspirations of a new generation eager for accountability, justice, and opportunity.
His campaign rests on three simple but powerful pillars: Heal, Unite, and Build. He seeks to heal divisions that have weakened the nation, unite a people too often separated by politics and tribe, and build a future where the untapped potential of Sierra Leoneans, especially its youth, can shine.
Whether Sierra Leone is ready to embrace this break from tradition remains to be seen. But one thing is undeniable: Dr. Ibrahim Bangura has already sparked conversations across the country, stirring hope and rekindling faith in the idea that politics can truly serve the people.
For many, his candidacy is more than a political ambition. It is the embodiment of a national dream: a Sierra Leone where leadership is not about power, but about service; not about division, but about unity; not about empty promises, but about transformation.
The time has come for Sierra Leone to choose a new path. Dr. Ibrahim Bangura offers that path, a chance to heal, unite, and build a nation worthy of its people. He is not merely a candidate; he is the political messenger of renewal, the leader who can restore trust and inspire a new Sierra Leone.
