Haja Isatu Bah-Kamara, a towering figure in Sierra Leone’s political landscape and the All People’s Congress (APC) Southern Region Chairperson, has been named among the 50 Most Influential Sierra Leonean Women for 2025 a recognition that celebrates her tireless advocacy, political leadership, and unwavering commitment to women’s empowerment.
The award was conferred during a high-profile ceremony held at the Bintumani Conference Centre in Freetown on July 18, 2025. The event gathered influential women from various sectors including politics, civil society, entrepreneurship, media, and diplomacy, honouring those whose work continues to reshape communities and inspire change nationwide.
Haja Isatu Bah-Kamara’s inclusion on the prestigious list stands as a powerful testament to her strategic leadership and grassroots mobilization across the Southern Region. A seasoned political figure within the APC, she has long championed inclusive governance and amplified women’s participation within the political space—often in regions considered challenging for her party.
Receiving the award, Bah-Kamara expressed profound gratitude to God, her family, and the APC for their enduring support. “This recognition is not just for me; it is for every woman striving to make a difference, particularly in the South where we continue to break barriers,” she said. “I dedicate this honour to the hardworking women of the Southern Region and to all those working towards building a better Sierra Leone.”
The 8th edition of the 50 Most Influential Women Awards continues to highlight the crucial roles women play in national development. Bah-Kamara’s recognition reinforces her status not only as a political force within the APC, but as a beacon of resilience and influence in the wider national discourse on leadership, empowerment, and transformation.
Her award adds to a growing list of accolades she has received for her public service and cements her place as one of Sierra Leone’s most respected female political leaders. With her dynamic presence and track record of action, she remains an inspiration to emerging women leaders seeking to leave a mark in politics and beyond.
