Unless all the APC votes
dry up completely and
Solomon Berewa makes a
clean sweep of all the
remaining votes left in
the SLPP
stronghold, Sierra
Leoneans can
legitimately say today
that there has been a
change of batons at
State House--And a
young man who answers to
the name of Ernest Bai
Koroma, will soon have a
new nomenclature--MR.
PRESIDENT.
Only the deepest dreamer
among the SLPP
support cast can now
nurse any hope that
their Presidential
candidate , Solomon
Berewa can still make a
comeback, erase Mr.
Koroma's commanding lead
and win. Today's results
from the National
Election Commission (
NEC) left SLPP
realists conceding that
the game was up :

SLPP FACES BIG SPLIT
OVER BEREWA'S CONCESSION
An SLPP Insider
told COCORIOKO today that
a big split hit the ruling SLPP
after the release of today's
results by the National
Elections Commission ( NEC)
,which leaves the party without
any more realistic and genuine
hope of retaining power. Our
source said in an emergency SLPP
meeting, a split arose between
those who want Presidential
candidate, Mr. Solomon Berewa ,
to concede and those who want
him to fight on. .
Our informant said that the
Deputy Minister of Defence, Joe
Blell is leading the faction
that is requesting that the SLPP
accept reality and concede
defeat in the national interest.
The other faction, led by the
Presidential candidate himself
vowed to fight on to the last
vote.

SLPP UNREALISTIC HOPES BASED ON
HIJACKING THE RUNOFFS
COCORIOKO SCOOP by our Freetown
reporters
It is appearing clear that President
Alhaji Ahmed Tejan Kabbah, after series
of allegation levied by members of the
Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) that
he deliberately failed to campaign for
the party's presidential candidate
Solomon Berewa to succeeded him,
appeared to have finally tried to
dictate to the Chairperson of National
Electoral Commission (NEC) Dr.
Christiana Thorpe to manipulate the
presidential runoff in favour of the
SLPP candidate Berewa.
An investigation conducted by COCORIOKO
revealed that President Kabbah ordered
some senior police officers including
the Inspector General of Police Brima
Acha Kamara, Assistant Inspector General
of Police In-Charge of Professional
Standard Tamba Gbeki and former National
Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) junta
leader Brigadier Julius Maada Bio to
execute a covert deal in Kailahun,
Bombali, Kenema, Pujehun and Moyamba
districts with ballot boxes.
A police personnel attached to the
Operational Support Division constable
Ansu who travelled with IG/SLP Acha,
Bio, AIG/SLP Gbeki and other Thursday
told COCORIOKO that with effect from
Friday the results with take a different
trend in favour of the SLPP as he puts
it " Bio is afraid of APC because if
its presidential candidate, Hon. Ernest
Bai Koroma, wins the election, the
former NPRC junta leader will not have a
peaceful stay in Sierra Leone".

AND SUPPORT HER WAR ON GLOBAL
TERRORISM
By Rev. Wilfred Leeroy Kabs-Kanu
One of Sierra Leone's greatest goodwill
partners and one of the most cherished
stakeholders in our country's fight for
Socio-economic and political recovery and
renaissance is the great UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.. From time immemorial, the United
States had stood by Sierra Leone and she
has provided much-needed economic and
technical assistance , as well as stand by
us when war threatened to obliterate our
entire nation. If Sierra Leone overcame the
ravages of war and survived as a nation, one
