Though the possible alternative, which is the SLPP is still battling to appoint a leader

Dr. Abass Bundu’s letter of September 7, 2009 to the Secretary General of the SLPP, published in several newspapers recently has brought into the open a quarrel in the Party that has been brewing for a long time. The quarrel is over Chapter 4 (4.5) of a new party constitution adopted at the last convention in Kenema. Chapter 4 (4.5) states that “a member of the National Executive shall not be eligible to be elected Presidential or Vice Presidential nominee whilst holding the executive office nor such election immediately following his/her vacation from that office

In Sierra Leone, the bad side of politics is evident in the behavioural pattern of the politicians, which is identical by every estimation, thoughts and imagination.
