At a time when the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) is calling for boldness, grassroots strength, and generational renewal, Robert Kondema Kargbo emerges not just as a candidate, but as a symbol of forward movement. His declaration to run for the National Deputy Chairman position has sent a powerful wave of hope across SLPP and beyond.
Kondema is not new to the soul of the SLPP. He has walked the dusty paths with the people, stood firm in times of uncertainty, and kept the green flag flying high even in the most trying moments. His leadership style is action-driven, people-focused, and deeply rooted in loyalty to the party’s values. Known as “the man with the golden heart,” his compassion extends far beyond politics, touching lives, inspiring hope, and nurturing the next generation of party loyalists.
During his official declaration at the party’s national headquarters, a lifelong grassroots member said with tears of joy, “This is the moment we’ve been praying for someone who understands us, walks with us, and lives for this party.” And this sentiment echoes from every district. the message is clear: the people trust him.
Robert Kondema Kargbo is not asking for power, he is answering a call. A call from a base that feels unheard, from a party that needs revival in energy, and from a nation that needs servant leaders. His vision is clear: to revive the Deputy Chairmanship into a working, unifying office, energize the grassroots, bridge the generational gap, and reposition the SLPP as a people-first, future-ready political force.
As the race begins, many are saying what the SLPP has long known but never acted on: “The time is now. And the man is Robert Kondema Kargbo.” Let the wave begin.
