LIBERIA – The ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) on Saturday, February 4, 2023, nominated President Weah to contest in the October 2023 presidential election.
President George Weah has accepted his party’s nomination to contest in the October 10, 2023 elections, saying “I will be on the ballot.”
Partisans and supporters gathered at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Monrovia chanting “Weah must go” and “Weah 12 sure” while wearing the traditional party colors of blue, red, and white.
Stores and shops in densely populated Duala, Vai town, Clara town, and Freeport are closed. Liberia is poised to go to an election on October 10, 2023, to elect 73 Representatives, 15 Senators, and President.
The CDC-led government’s decision to hold a rally that results in the closure of businesses, however, has drawn criticism from some Liberians. The government rally, according to them, will result in revenue losses.
