In 1967 Sierra Leone passed the critical test of a competitive political system when the opposition party, the All Peoples Congress, defeated the SLPP and was called upon to form a government.In this thorough and well-documented study Dr Cartwright explains how Sierra Leone maintained this pattern of political competition.
