Former RUF spokesman to contest elections

    ABIDJAN
    The leader of the National Reconstruction Party of Sierra Leone, Omrie Golley, has registered his party to contest the forthcoming presidential and legislative elections, the Sierra Leone News Agency (SLENA), reported on Tuesday. Golley, former spokesman for the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), said that the party wanted reconciliation, reconstruction and community rebuilding of Sierra Leone through hard work. The party has offices in Freetown and is establishing branch offices in the south, east, and the north of the country to fulfil the requirements in forming a national political party. Its focus would be on youths whom, SLENA reported him as saying, are marginalised in the community and feel disenfranchised from the mainstream.
