In what political observers are describing as a major breakthrough in the race for the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) flagbearer position ahead of the 2028 general elections, Hon. Alhaji Musa Tarawally has secured an overwhelming endorsement from delegates across all six constituencies in Moyamba District.
The dramatic show of support unfolded on Friday, June 5, 2026, when 22 out of 24 accredited delegates from the district converged at Hon. Musa Tarawally’s residence in Freetown to publicly declare their support for his bid to become the next SLPP presidential candidate.
The endorsement represents an impressive 92 % percent of the district’s delegates, a development widely viewed as a significant political statement and a strong indication of Hon. Tarawally’s growing influence within the party’s grassroots structures.
Political analysts note that the endorsement effectively positions Moyamba District as one of the strongest support bases for the Vision 2028 movement championed by Hon. Musa Tarawally. Once considered a competitive political battleground, Moyamba is now being described by supporters as a stronghold firmly aligned with the Tarawally camp.
The gathering was marked by expressions of confidence in Hon. Tarawally’s leadership credentials, development agenda, and vision for a more productive, prosperous, and self-reliant Sierra Leone. Delegates reportedly pledged to mobilize support throughout the district and beyond as momentum continues to build ahead of the party’s internal contest.
Observers have also noted a growing trend of political realignments within the SLPP, with several delegates and influential party stakeholders from various camps reportedly shifting their allegiance to the Musa Tarawally movement. This wave of support has fueled speculation that the contest for the party’s 2028 flagbearer position may be increasingly tilting in his favor.
Supporters argue that the latest endorsement sends a clear message about the direction in which the party’s grassroots membership is moving. They believe the overwhelming support from Moyamba reflects growing confidence in Hon. Tarawally’s message of national development, economic empowerment, and responsible leadership.
As the countdown to 2028 continues, the political landscape within the SLPP appears to be evolving rapidly. While the race for the party’s flagbearer position remains open, the endorsement from all six constituencies in Moyamba District has undoubtedly strengthened Hon. Musa Tarawally’s standing and added further momentum to his Vision 2028 campaign.
For many political commentators, the events of June 5 may be remembered as a defining moment in the emerging contest one that has elevated Hon. Musa Tarawally from a contender to a leading force within the race for the SLPP’s highest political ticket.
