Date: Monday, 2nd June 2025

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBERS:
Postponement of SLAJ Elective Congress

The Executive of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) wishes to inform its membership that the Elective Congress earlier scheduled for 6th to 7th June 2025 has been postponed to 13th and 14th June 2025, same venue and time.

This decision has been necessitated by the expectation that Friday, 6th June 2025 is Dunkay Sally Pray Day, and will be declared a public holiday. The Executive, in consultation with the SLAJ Electoral Commission (SLAJEC), has agreed to this change to ensure the smooth and inclusive conduct of the Congress.

We wish to emphasise that this change of date does not reopen the window for payment of dues or registration of new voters in relation to voting in the upcoming elections. All eligibility requirements and deadlines previously announced by the Executive and SLAJEC remain in effect.

However, SLAJEC will, in due course, issue an updated timetable to reflect adjustments necessitated by the new Congress dates.

We regret any inconvenience this change may cause to members and to candidates contesting for various positions. The Executive remains committed to providing the necessary support to ensure a free, fair, and credible electoral process under the supervision of SLAJEC.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Signed:

Ahmed Sahid Nasralla
President
