The most contested figure in the 2nd August 2025 Elective Congress of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA), Babadi Kamara, a presidential hopeful and Executive Chairman of the Bo Rangers Football Club, has promised that if he becomes the next President of SLFA, he won't take any action of hurting or harming someone in return for not supporting his presidential bid, including the four football clubs that petioned his candidacy.

He asserted that seeking revenge can damage his social relationships while he emphasized the necessity of unity within the football community.
Babadi Kamara reiterated his commitment to serving the sport and taking it to another level if he is elected the next President of SLFA.

The 2025 SLFA Elective Congress will be remembered not just for who wins or loses but for how integrity, due process, and ethics were tested under the spotlight of public scrutiny.

The disqualification of a sitting President and a female candidate sets a powerful precedent.

This year's elections featured 15 candidates vying for various elective positions. Of the 15 candidates who were subjected to integrity test, 13 were cleared, while two candidates, Thomas Daddy Brima and Aminata Bangura, both initially vying for the presidency, were disqualified, fined, and barred for one year from football activities. Mr. Brima's fall from grace is one of the most consequential development s in recent SLFA history. Despite being the sitting President, his candidacy crumbled under the weight of multiple dates of birth across passports, an improper police clearance, and an affirmed ACC investigation albeit without indictment.

The Ethics Committee concluded that his varying identities across official documents undermined the very essence of ethical credibility and violated Article 15 of the SLFA Ethics Code. It's a stunning indictment of lax internal oversight and a cautionary tale for how incumbency can breed complacency.

Equally dramatic was the case of Ms. Aminata Bangura, who faced allegations of forcing her police clearance and lying under oath during her integrity hearing. The CID confirmed she had not appeared in person for fingerprinting, disputed her affidavit to the contrary.

Her disqualification is not just a legal decision; it's a symbolic blow against the culture of impunity that has, at times, plagued women's football administration in the country. Her one-year ban signals a firm stance against falsification in the vetting process.
