New Paramount Chief (April 2025)
Daniel Sara Turay has been overwhelmingly elected Paramount Chief (PC) of Kalanthuba Chiefdom amid much rejoicing. Seven candidates competed for the post on Saturday, April 26. The new PC received 288 votes or 86 percent out of the 334 votes cast by Kalanthuba’s chiefdom councilors. The Paramount Chief will reign for life as Alimamy Baio Yembeh the Fifth. Restored in 2017 by the government of Sierra Leone as part of a nationwide process of chiefdom de-amalgamation, Kalanthuba has waited seven years for a chieftaincy election to occur. In the interim, three regent chiefs have filled the void. Preparations for the formal ceremony installing the new PC are pending.
