The Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) is poised for a historic moment this weekend as it formally hands over leadership to a newly elected National Executive. The highly anticipated ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the party’s National Headquarters in Freetown, beginning at 10:00am sharp.
The event, themed “A New Dawn for the SLPP,” marks the official transition from the outgoing executive to a vibrant new leadership team headed by Sir Jimmy Batilo Songa. The occasion is expected to draw party members, supporters, and stakeholders from across all regions, districts, constituencies, zones, and affiliate groups.
More than a ceremonial handover, the gathering will represent a renewed commitment to unity, progress, and strengthened party structures as the SLPP prepares for the next phase of its political journey.
“The handover signals a fresh start, one that blends experience with youthful energy,” said a senior party official. “It’s a moment of reflection, celebration, and forward momentum for our great party.”
The incoming National Executive has promised to prioritize inclusivity, grassroots engagement, and internal reforms to further consolidate the SLPP’s position as a leading political force in Sierra Leone.
Party members and the general public are warmly invited to attend the ceremony, which organizers say will be a celebration of resilience, hope, and the collective vision of a better future.
As the SLPP turns a new page, the leadership is calling for continued unity and loyalty among its base, urging all members to be part of this transformative moment in the party’s history.
