Magburaka, Sierra Leone – April 11, 2025 – Dr. Richard Konteh, the leading candidate for the APC flagbearer primaries, received an enthusiastic and warm reception in Magburaka, the capital of Tonkolili District, as part of his nationwide “Hope and Unity” Campaign Tour. His visit, which marks another significant milestone in his quest to lead the APC party, signals not only a political campaign but a bold call for transformative change and a brighter future for Sierra Leone.
For the people of Magburaka, who have long been yearning for leadership that understands their struggles, Dr. Konteh’s visit brought renewed hope and excitement. The atmosphere was electric, with large crowds of residents from all walks of life eager to hear his vision for the country.
His engagement with the community was authentic and personal, addressing the concerns of both urban and rural citizens and offering solutions grounded in real, actionable change.
Throughout the tour, Dr. Konteh emphasized the importance of listening to ordinary Sierra Leoneans, especially those in regions like Tonkolili, where development is often sidelined. By visiting Magburaka and surrounding towns, Dr. Konteh continues to demonstrate that he is committed to understanding the realities faced by Sierra Leoneans across the country, not just in the urban centers.
“Magburaka, like all of Sierra Leone, deserves a government that listens, understands, and acts in the best interest of its people. I am here today not only as a candidate but as someone who is ready to make real, lasting change,” said Dr. Richard Konteh. “Together, we can restore the hope of the people, bring progress to our communities, and secure a future of prosperity for all Sierra Leoneans.”
Dr. Konteh’s message resonated deeply with the residents of Magburaka, especially those who feel marginalized by the current administration. He offered a vision for national unity, prosperity, and inclusivity, particularly focused on strengthening rural areas that have been neglected for far too long. His commitment to addressing these disparities forms the backbone of his campaign.
The visit to Magburaka reaffirmed Dr. Konteh’s rising popularity as a unifying force within the APC and Sierra Leone as a whole. His focus on grassroots engagement, his openness to dialogue, and his commitment to listening to the people distinguish him as a leader who seeks to bridge divides and uplift communities across Sierra Leone.
As the APC prepares for the 2026 National Delegate Convention, Dr. Konteh’s message of hope, unity, and inclusive leadership continues to gain momentum. His approach to rebuilding the APC party and Sierra Leone, grounded in listening to every citizen’s needs and concerns, has resonated with many and promises to guide the nation toward a more prosperous future.
