Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Presidential Candidate of the Revolutionary United Front Party (RUFP), Abdulaihi Dougakoro Saccoh said he is grateful after his party polled 6,796 votes in the just concluded Presidential Election.<\/p>\n

<\/a>In an interview with Awoko Newspaper, Saccoh said the votes he polled in this year\u2019s election is \u201cgood start\u201d despite the limited resources.<\/p>\n

He said they will need to build from what they secured in this year\u2019s election for the future.<\/p>\n

Saccoh said one of the things that has been affecting their party is the perceived propaganda against their party.<\/p>\n

The RUFP is an offshoot of the Revolutionary United Front, a rebel group that fought against the Sierra Leone military and allies for a decade.<\/p>\n

Although, the party is reformed and has been a key part of the democratic space for nearly two decades, the local population still harbours some amount of distrust.<\/p>\n

Saccoh said this together with an added budget like the two main parties, the Sierra Leone People\u2019s Party (SLPP) and the All People\u2019s Congress (APC), the RUFP could perform better.<\/p>\n

The party is among the few that fielded candidates in the country.<\/p>\n

Their candidates contested for parliamentary and local council seats in Karene, Kenema, Kailahun and Freetown.<\/p>\n

The RUFP Presidential Candidate said the party is already working to perform better in the next elections which will take place five years from now in 2028.<\/p>\n
