An important aspect

An important aspect of Sir Milton's character was his self-effacement. He was neither corrupt nor did he make a lavish display of his power or status. Sir Milton's government was based on the rule of law and the notion of separation of powers, with multiparty political institutions and fairly viable representative structures. Milton Margai used his conservative ideology to lead Sierra Leone without much strife. He appointed government officials with a clear eye to satisfy various ethnic groups. Sir Milton successfully built coalitions from in the 1950s to attain independence without bloodshed. With his genteel nature, Sir Milton Margai employed a brokerage style of politics by sharing political power between political groups and the paramamount chiefs in the provinces.

Upon Margai's death on 28 April 1964, an internal crises within members of the Sierra Leone People's party irrupted as who to succeed Margai as Prime Minister. The parliament of Sierra Leone held an emergency session to elect a new prime minister, the person must be a member of the rulling SLPP party. One of the two leading candidates to succeed Margai as Prime minister was Sir Albert Margai, Sierra Leone's Finance minister and also the younger brother of Sir Milton Margai. The other was Dr.John Karefa-Smart, Sierra Leone's Foreign minister and a close ally of Sir Milton. Sir Albert Margai was elected by a majority vote in Parliament to be the new leader of the SLPP and the next prime minister of Sierra Leone. Sir Albert Margai's leadership was briefly challenged by Sierra Leone's Foreign Minister John Karefa-Smart, an ethnic Sherbro, who questioned Sir Albert's succession to the SLPP leadership position. Kareefa-Smart received little support in Parliament in his attempt to have Margai stripped of the SLPP leadership.
