MONROVIA, LIBERIA – The opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC) and the Collaborating Political Party (CPP) standard-bearer Alexander B. Cummings has officially chosen Cllr. Charlyne M. Brumskine as his vice presidential running mate for this year’s Legislative and Presidential Elections.
The ceremony was held in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, today. Charlyne is the daughter of the late Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine, the founding father of the Liberty Party (LP).
Liberia’s presidential and general Elections are scheduled to be held on October 10, 2023.
Grand Bassa County, a key political battleground, has historically played a significant role in Liberian politics. Its strategic importance as one of the country’s major economic centers, along with its substantial population, makes it a pivotal region for political campaigns.
Charlyne hailed from Grand Bassa County. She is a seasoned politician and lawyer.
Her inclusion on the ANC’s ticket has been received with great enthusiasm by the party’s supporters in the county and country at large, according to ANC-CPP supporters.
Adding that the selection of Charlyne brings into line Cummings’ vision of fostering inclusive governance and empowering local communities and a new approach to national governance.
The ANC standard-bearer has repeatedly emphasized the need for competent and capable leadership that represents all Liberians, transcending regional and ethnic boundaries.
According to our correspondent in Buchanan, the ANC’s ticket gains considerable momentum and credibility among Grand Bassa’s residents.
Accordingly, elders and citizens of Grand Bassa and the Southeastern region of the country have reportedly expressed satisfaction over the pick of one of their own.
Political pundits predict that the ANC’s selection of CCllr. Charlyne Brumskine as vice-presidential running-mate will likely increase the party’s appeal and broaden its support base, especially within Grand Bassa County.
