In a bold move, Fatima Maada Bio, the First Lady of Sierra Leone, has publicly accused former Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) Chairman, Harding, of orchestrating dissent against her.
The allegations were made via her social media platforms, where she highlighted Harding's role in fostering division within the party and contributing to recent attacks directed at her.
The tensions have escalated significantly amid the ongoing campaigns for pivotal executive positions, which are set to influence key appointments for the upcoming elections.
The contest for the party's Flagbearer and running mate has intensified rivalries, with factions emerging from both the First Lady's camp and that of Harding.
Madam Fatima's statements reflect a deepening rift within the party, as she expressed feelings of betrayal from former allies, describing the actions against her as particularly egregious.
The current discord underscores the challenges the SLPP faces as it navigates internal conflicts while preparing for critical electoral decisions.
As the political landscape shifts, the implications of this conflict could have lasting effects on the party's unity and its prospects in the next election cycle.
With both sides entrenched in their positions, the path forward remains uncertain, leaving party members and supporters watching closely for developments.
