END OF A POLITICAL ERA – GOODBYE CHARLES MARGAI
In the end mercurial Charles Margai was totally unable to produce his 2007 effect on Tolongbo’s fortunes in the elections last week, going by the figures rolling out of the south of the country in particular. This was the region where Margai damaged the SLPP in 2007, taking a handful of seats and opening the way for Tolongbo to make big gains and go on to win the election. When he lined up again with them just before the last election, he was hoping to repeat his heroics of 2007. He failed.
