UP SADDENS BY THE DEATH OF PLP’S POLITICAL LEADER CASSELL

Date:

LIBERIA – Unity Party is saddened by the sudden demise of the Founder and Political Leader of the People’s Liberation Party (PLP) Dr. Daniel E. Cassell.

In a press statement issued yesterday, UP says the news of the sad passing of the statesman flooded social media in the early hours of December 26, 2022. To the disbelieve of many supporters and well-wishers alike, it was later confirmed by family sources that he died as the result of a heart attack in Pennsylvania, the United States of America.

Before his demise, Dr. Cassell, after his brief introduction to Liberia’s political landscape projected a shared vision with the Unity Party ideas of a Liberated Liberian society from the shackles of poverty.

He was often referred to as the “poverty doctor” by many of his supporters and admirers for his numerous interventions in the lives of ordinary Liberians.

The UP has lost a friend and a great man of immense conviction in the struggle for better leadership for Liberia.

The UP extends its condolences to the PLP family, the Cassell family, and all friends and supporters of the late Dr. Daniel E. Cassell.

The Party reaffirms its commitment to partner and working with the PLP, a legacy of Dr. Cassell, in the struggle for the total liberation of the masses of the Liberian people. PRESS STATEMENT
