Aki-Sawyerr assured the electorates that when elected, she will be a Mayor for everyone in Freetown and will ensure a different future is given to the city of Freetown. She promised to bring her time, resources and energy to help transform the city of Freetown.

On the need for reconciliation, Madam Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr said power comes from God and that those who didn’t make it for symbols should work with the Party to ensure victory. She also encouraged Party supporters who have not collected their voter identification cards to do so if only the party should win.
Her supporters said she is a dedicated person with a passion to serve her people.
“When elected she will help change the face of the city,” said Kadiatu Dumbuya, a trader at Sani Abacha Street.
