Freetown’s Francis Fonseca Confident his Work Speaks for Itself

In the lead-up to the March 12, 2025, general elections, Freetown P.U.P. Standard Bearer Francis Fonseca remains unfazed by his opponent. Despite the intense campaign season, Fonseca told News 5 that he is carrying out his ministerial duties, and his focus is squarely on his constituents and ongoing projects. “I also have ministerial duties, which I have to carry out. I’m doing that today. So, it’s a balance,” Fonseca said.

He openly admitted that he is not acquainted with his challenger from the United Democratic Party, Abraham Flowers. Fonseca stated, “I don’t know the gentleman, so I cannot comment on it. I don’t know him. I understand he’s the UDP candidate. But like every candidate, I respect all my candidates.”

Flowers was sworn in as the UDP standard bearer for the Freetown division in August 2024 under Moses “Shyne” Barrow’s leadership.

With six elections under his belt, Fonseca says his strategy has always centred on his work and his strong relationship with the people of Freetown, not the competition. He said he has “a great relationship with the people of Freetown,” adding that he’s had discussions with the people of his area and acknowledged the concerns they have brought up.
