On August 27 2007, Jalloh 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. He denounced claims that he had allied with the opposition All People's Congress (APC) based on a photograph of himself with APC leader Ernest Bai Koroma and People's Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC) leader Charles Margai, which he said was taken after a consultative meeting between the parties.
