Dr. Kandeh Baba Conteh is a Sierra Leonean politician and political scientist. [ [http://www.sierra-leone.org/list-PLP.html PLP Parliamentary Candidates - Sierra Leone Web ] ] He is the leader of the Peace and Liberation Party (PLP). He is a member of parliament, substituting Johnny Paul Koroma who died in 2003. [ [http://www.sierra-leone.org/parliament-2002.html] ]

Conteh was appointed ambassador of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council junta in 1997. [ [http://www.sierra-leone.org/govt7.html] ]

Conteh, as the PLP candidate, placed sixth in the presidential election held on August 11 2007, receiving 0.57% of the vote. [ [http://necsierraleone.org/FinalResults.pdf Final results from the National Electoral Commission] , August 25, 2007.] Following the first round, on August 27 Conteh announced his party's support for second place candidate Solomon Berewa of the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) in the second round of the election. With the All People's Congress (APC) of Berewa's rival, Ernest Bai Koroma, having already won a majority in the parliamentary election held concurrently with the first round, Conteh said that there would be "a better balance" for the country if the presidency and parliament were controlled by different parties.
