Sierra Leone will go to the polls on March 07, with sixteen political parties contesting 
the Presidential Election.  

Recognised  as  a  leading  voice  for  the  consolidation  of  democracy  and  improving electoral  activities  across  the  continent,  President  Mahama,  at  the  invitation  of  the Political   Parties   Registration   Commission   (PPRC)   of   Sierra   Leone,   will   “lead   the discussions  in  a  closed-door  high-level  breakfast  meeting  between  the  Presidential Candidates and their Running Mates, Commissioners of the PPRC, Electoral Officials, Police Chief, Paramount Chiefs and Eminent Persons.”  
 
According to the PPRC, President Mahama as an exemplary leader who is held in very high regard in Sierra Leone “will explore with the aspirants, their aspirations, challenges and fears ahead of the election as well as encourage them to subscribe to the Peace Pledge.”  

As part of his activities, the former President of Ghana will also preside over the signing of a Peace Pledge by the Presidential Candidates on Wednesday February 28, hold talks with President Ernest Bai Koroma and hold separate meetings with the Candidates, the Electoral Commission, Police Chief and Sierra Leone’s Donor Partners.
