1962 Sierra Leonean general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General elections were held in Sierra Leone on 25 May 1962, just over a year after the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. This was the first to be held under universal suffrage. The elections were won by the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), although the party received fewer votes than independent candidates.[1] SLPP leader Milton Margai remained Prime Minister.
