2009 APC Convention
On April 16, 2009, Koroma was re-elected unopposed by the APC as the party's presidential candidate in the 2012 Sierra Leone presidential election at the APC National Delegates convention held in the northern city of Makeni. Several senior members of the country's main opposition party the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) and the country's third major party the PMDC were invited as special guests at the convention to promote peace and National Reconciliation across the country, following the tense general elections in 2007. Those in attendance at the convention included John Oponjo Benjamin, the leader of the main opposition the SLPP; and Charles Francis Margai, the Leader of the country's third major party the PMDC. http://sierraleoneagenda.org/articles/2009/apr_2009/article_20090418_1.aspx .

“No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks from books, convention and cliché, not from real life.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
