The Executive body of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) has deferred its Elective Congress earlier slated for 6th to 7th June 2025 to 13th and 14th June 2025.
The Bintumani venue and time remain intact.
It said in a press release early on Monday that the decision is based on the expectation that Friday, 6th June 2025 will be Dunkay Pray Day, a public holiday.
It wished to emphasise that this change of date does not reopen the window for payment of dues or registration of new voters in relation to voting in the upcoming elections.
“All eligibility requirements and deadlines previously announced by the Executive and SLAJEC remain in effect,” the release added.
Amid this postponement, fight for the presidency between Alhaji Manika Kamara and Mustapha Sesay is raging wild, as both are engaged in provincial tours to gain grounds.
