A press release from the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists says its National Public Affairs Secretary for four years, Sayoh Kamara and the Vice Chairman of the Southern Regional executive, Melvin Rogers, have resigned their positions to contest for seats in parliament come November.
While Kamara is aspiring to secure a party symbol to contest for a parliamentary seat in his native Koinadugu district under the governing All People’s Congress party, Rogers is pursuing the same in Pujehun under the main opposition Sierra Leone People’s Party.
SLAJ says the two “have given meritorious services to the Association for four years on a voluntary basis and they acquitted themselves extremely well” and wish them luck in their endeavours.
