After the declaration of aspirants for the Paramount Chieftaincy election in Jaluahun Chiefdom on the 10th of November this year, some aspirants candidature were nullified by referring to the chiefdom as an amalgamated chiefdom in the district.
This lead to petition letters to various quarters regarding their legitimacy, it seems the issue has been addressed to the satisfaction of residents in the chiefdom.
The Deputy Secretary in the office of the Provincial Secretary’s office Jaya Samuka has addressed aspirants from Jaluahun chiefdom in the Kailahun district for Paramount Chieftaincy election scheduled to take place at the end of this month for their candidature fees.
He revealed to them that his office has received a letter from the Permanent Secretary of Local Government Lansana Koroma that the question of Jaluahun chiefdom being an amalgamated chiefdom in the Kailahun district has being over ruled and therefore the remaining candidates who were not fortunate and have been aggrieved should go the National Election Office and go ahead with their nominations process.
