After months of speculation, Sierra Rutile Chief Executive Officer John Sisay has admitted that he wants to trade in his mining job for one at State House. Local news reports that Sisay announced his intention to run for president of Sierra Leone in the 2017 elections over the weekend. The headlines following Sisay’s announcement were unusually negative, one going so far as to call for his arrest.
Sisay says declaring his intention to succeed the President was lawful. He says that he did so to his family and friends in the confines of his home. Sisay and President Koroma are maternal first cousins.
Sisay is one of the first people to openly declare an intention to run for President in 2017 under the All People’s Congress (APC). To be able to run for president of Sierra Leone, Sisay would need to win the the APC party’s nomination.
