MONROVIA – Sources within the Alternative National Congress and the Liberty Party have hinted that Cllr. Charlyne Brumskine is a possible pick for the Vice Running Mate to Mr. Alexander Cummings.
Cllr. Brumskine, a daughter of Liberty Party founder, Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine (deceased) is currently a representative aspirant in Grand Bassa District 3.
According to a source, the pick will be made this weekend in Ganta, Nimba County following the convention of the CPP.
The Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), on Friday, May 12, began its National Convention in Ganta, Nimba County to elect the Standard Bearer, Senatorial, and Representative Candidates for the 2023 General and Presidential Elections slated for October 10.
Over 250 member delegates are expected to attend the one-day convention under the theme “ABC a Better Choice, A Better Country Alexander Cummings is Real Change.”
Mr. Cummings, who is the current Political Leader, is expected to be unanimously endorsed as the CPP Standard Bearer for the 2023 Presidential elections.
Meanwhile, reports from the port city of Grand Bassa, say there was overnight jubilation following a news break that Charlyne Brumskine was the presumptive pick for the CPP ticket with Mr. Alexander B. Cummings.
According to the report, jubilation is now building up across Grand Bassa County ahead of today’s convention start in Ganta, Nimba County.
The news of the presumptive pick of Charlyne Brumskine by CPP political leader Alexander Cummings has taken the central point of discussions across Grand Bassa County.
It may be recalled, reports went viral within the last 72hrs of the pick of Henry Yallah of Bong County as the presumptive vice standard bearer of CPP Alexander B. Cummings.
Last week, a report emerged that Grand Bassa Senator Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrwnce turned down a last-minute rush for her vice candidature by CPP political leader Alexander B. Cummings.
In December 2022, the astute young lawyer Cllr. Brumskine made public her letter of intent to the Liberty Party about her desire to contest the District #3 seat, following which she drummed up massive support from the Bassa people and solicited their presence on several occasions.
“In a quest to support her bid, for this representative seat in District #3, Grand Bassa County, the great people of the county invite you to the endorsement ceremony of their daughter, sister, and friend Charlyne M. Brumskine on Sunday, December 11, 2022, Pavilion Fair Ground, Grand Bassa County. Time: 1 PM,” the organizers announced on the flyers.
Since she declared intent, Charlyne has been receiving a lot of goodwill support from a cross-section of the populace in Grand Bassa County and is said to be picking up some of the pieces where her father left in the polity. She has been frequenting the county, especially District #3 in recent times where information has not confirmed if she will have any competition picking the ticket ahead of any other aspirant within the Liberty Party.
As the electioneering process is fast picking up in the county, no doubt Charlyne will be a factor in the race, and any opponent coming in the race, should be ready to face a herculean task ahead.
Charlyne M. Brumskine is the Managing Attorney and founder of CMB Law Group, LLC, a legal and strategic advisory firm in Monrovia, Liberia. She has over 18 years of legal experience and is licensed to practice law in the Republic of Liberia, New York State, and Washington D.C.
