Full Text
A Facebook post by Salone Political Watch states that the APC National Secretariat has released an official statement disqualifying key aspirants, including Mohamed Omodu Kamara and Dr Kaifala Marah, ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
The post includes an image of a supposed APC press release dated April 27, 2026. The post has generated strong public reactions, with many users questioning the credibility of the information and pointing out inconsistencies, especially about the APC leadership details.
Others expressed concern and debate over the alleged disqualification, while some supporters reacted emotionally, showing how influential the claim appears to be. Overall, the number of comments, likes, and shares suggests the claim is gaining wide attention and shaping public opinion despite doubts about its accuracy.
Because of the potential to mislead, DUBAWA decided to verify it.
Verification
DUBAWA examined the viral claim by analysing the attached document, checking credible media platforms, and reviewing official party communication channels.
First, there is no credible or verified report from trusted media organisations in Sierra Leone confirming that the APC has disqualified any aspirants for the 2028 flagbearer race.
Also, DUBAWA contacted Sidie Yayah Tunis, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary. According to him, the claim is false. He clarified that the party has not disqualified any aspirants, and no such decision has been officially taken by the party’s leadership or its selection committee. His response directly contradicts the viral post.
There is no verified evidence supporting the disqualification. The APC has not officially announced such a decision.
Conclusion
The viral post claiming that the APC has disqualified Mohamed Omodu Kamara, Dr Kaifala Marah, and others from the 2028 flagbearer race is false. There is no confirmed evidence of such a decision.
