Ernest Bai Koroma (born 2 October 1953) is the President of Sierra Leone. He has been in office since 2007.
An insurance executive by profession, Koroma spent more than 24 years working in the private insurance industry before entering politics in 2002. From 1988 to 2002, he was the managing director of the Reliance Insurance Trust Corporation (Ritcorp).
He is a 1976 graduate from Fourah Bay College, the oldest university in West Africa. Koroma is a native of Makeni, Bombali District in the North of Sierra Leone.
He was elected as leader of the All People's Congress (APC), Sierra Leone's main opposition party, on 24 March 2002, after defeating then incumbent APC leader Edward Turay. Koroma stood as the APC candidate in the 2002 presidential election but was defeated by incumbent President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, who won 70.3% of the vote, to Koroma's 22.35%. Koroma conceded defeat.
Koroma was later elected to Parliament, representing his home District of Bombali from 2002 to 2007. In 2005, he was elected the minority leader of Parliament and remained in that position until his election to the Presidency in 2007.
When China’s President Xi Jinping addressed the United Nations earlier this week, development and aid for Africa was a major part of his focus. One of those countries keenly interested in what President Xi had to say was Nigeria. One of several African leaders addressing the UN here in New York this week was Ernest Bai Koroma, the President of Sierra Leone. His country was hard hit last year when about four thousand people died in the Ebola epidemic.
