Former President Goodluck Jonathan will lead a team of observers to Sierra Leone’s general elections scheduled to take place on 7 March, 2018.
According to a statement issued by Ikechukwu Eze, the ex-President’s spokesman, Jonathan is scheduled to leave for Freetown on Friday as leader of the Election Observation Mission of the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA).
Eze revealed that Jonathan would be leading the Mission which has observers drawn from civil society organisations and election management bodies from across the continent.
