The President Pro-tempore of the Liberian Senate, Senator Albert Tugbe Chie, has officially launched a vigorous campaign in Grand Kru County, code-named “Operation Weah 100%, Boakai Zero”.
Operation Weah Hundred Boakai Zero campaign, according to Senator Chie, is intended to ensure that one hundred percent of the votes in Grand Kru and all the southeastern counties are cast for President George M. Weah during the November 14 run-off election.
Launching the official campaign for President Weah’s reelection for the November 14 poll following his arrival Monday, November 6, 2023 in Grand Kru, Senator Chie indicated that during the October 10 election their opponent, Joseph N. Boakai, got some of the votes in Grand Kru, but cautioned the citizens and residents of the county to ensure that President Weah gets 100 percent of the votes come November 14.
He used the occasion to commend the people of Grand Kru for turning out in their numbers to vote for him, Deputy Speaker, J. Fonati Koffa and President George M. Weah during last month’s election. “You promised to vote for the three Hebrew Brothers, me, Rep. Koffa and President Weah; Koffa and myself have crossed, but your son, President George M. Weah, has not cross yet, therefore, we can’t afford to give any of our vote to that other old man,” Pro-temp Chie said.
The Grand Kru lawmaker at the same time urged citizens from other counties residing in Grand Kru to equally vote for President George M. Weah because they are also beneficiary of the development in that part of the country.
Also speaking, Grand Kru County Senator, Numeme T.H. Bartekwa, joined Pro-temp Chie by commending the citizens of Grand Kru for overwhelmingly voting for President Weah, Pro-temp Chie and Deputy Speaker Koffa during the October polls, and called on them to complete the task by ensuring that President Weah is reelected on November 14.
Based on the campaign schedule, Pro-Temp Chie is tasked with President Weah’s re-election campaign in electoral district #1, Grand Kru County, while Senator Bartekwa and Deputy Speaker J. Fonati Koffa are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that President Weah gets 100 percent vote in electoral district #2, Grand Kru County.
Pro-temp Chie, who was recently reelected Senator of Grand Kru County with over 82% of the votes, will continue his President Weah re-election campaign tour for the entire week, crisscrossing the entire electoral district #1, and will end in Barclayville on November 12 to participate in the CDC closing campaign rally.
