Koroma has demonstrated great stewardship of the APC party over the last six years and under his leadership, the APC swept virtually all the seats in the Western Area during the last Local Government Elections of 2004. This was in spite of efforts by conservative elements in the party to undermine his leadership. However, Koroma's leadership is considered to be a blend of the old and the new. He has proved that he is committed to reform and will tackle tough issues.
