President George Manneh Weah, while reaffirming his government’s commitment and resolve to conduct free, fair, transparent, credible, and peaceful elections, expressed strong optimism of being reelected President of Liberia in October this year.
“The opposition may try to impede our progress, but they shall not prevail. They will witness the strength and unity of the CDC as we march towards an overwhelming triumph,” said Weah when 50 plus members of the 54th Liberian Legislature endorsed his reelection bid at the Headquarters of the governing Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) in Congo Town, Monrovia Tuesday.
“The Liberian people know that our unwavering dedication to their well-being sets us apart” said Weah, a former global soccer legend turned politician.
“Our accomplishments during my first term have been significant. We have transformed the face of our nation through infrastructure development, empowered our youth to become the driving force of change, and achieved economic stability that has positively impacted the lives of countless Liberians. These achievements are a testament to the resilience and determination of our people,” he told the huge gathering.
According to the incumbent Liberian President, “The will of the people is an unstoppable force, and together, we will shape the future of our great nation. Victory is not just within our grasp; it is inevitable.”
“While our opponents resort to empty promises and divisive tactics, we remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver tangible results that transform lives. As we approach the upcoming elections, rest assured that your voice will be heard.
Quoting South Africa’s former President, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Nelson Mandela that “The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its citizens during election process,” President Weah indicated : “We are committed to upholding the democratic principles that underpin our Nation.”
The Liberian leader pointed out that “the upcoming elections will be nothing short of a shining example of democracy in action.”
Weah: “Today, I stand before you with profound gratitude and an unwavering belief in our shared vision, as I wholeheartedly accept your resounding endorsement and reaffirmation of my candidacy for re-election as the President of the Republic of Liberia.
“The fact that the entire membership of the Legislative Caucus of the Mighty Congress for Democratic Change, representing a significant percentage of the membership of the 54th Legislature of the Republic of Liberia, is standing behind my leadership and candidacy in the upcoming elections, fills me with immense pride.
“ This endorsement is not just a seal of approval for our policies and programs; it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the Liberian people,” said the United Nations former Goodwill Ambassador.
Weah: “Fellow Partisans, CDCians, WEAHcians, and Friends of the CDC: I repeat, with confidence and conviction, and I want you to mark my words: Victory is not just within our grasp; it is inevitable. I am convinced that the Liberian electorate, wise and discerning, will make the right choice by returning us to office.”
Turning to new members of the ruling CDC, President Weah indicated: “To all the newcomers who have chosen to join our mighty Coalition for Democratic Change, I extend a warm welcome. The CDC is not merely a political party; it is a beacon of hope and progress for all Liberians. Within our ranks, there is space for every citizen, regardless of their party affiliation. Together, we will build a stronger and more prosperous Liberia.”
