The Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) has regained greater momentum with renewed zeal by thousands of partisans of the Liberty Party (LP) and the Alternative National Congress (ANC) committing to a pronounced “Liberation struggle” to make George Manneh Weah a one-term President of Liberia.
The unveiling ceremony of the revised CPP Framework Document (FD), on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at the Liberty Party headquarters on 19th Street, Sinkor, was characterized by cultural dance and statements of support and solidarity by several opposition parties and politicians to the cause of the CPP: to vote out President Weah’s corrupt regime in 2023.
Special high power executive delegations of the United People’s Party (UPP) and the People’s Liberation Party (PLP) who attended the ceremony pledged solidarity and pleaded with other opposition political parties and Liberians to join rank with the CPP to redeem Liberia from the claws of President Weah and his gang of thieves.
UPP Secretary General, Simeon Kidka, said Liberia, one of Africa’s oldest nation, due to years of bad governance is seriously suffering infrastructural deficit, compared with other West African countries, including Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, which are making significant advances.
PLP Vice Chairman Orlando Saah Fallah viewed the CPP as significant, which he said must be supported and embraced by all well-meaning opposition parties and politicians as the most viable option for Liberians to get rid of President Weah, whom he described as the greatest tragedy that has ever befallen Liberia—his election as President.
The 23-page CPP Framework Document endorsed the ANC Political Leader, Alexander B. Cummings, as its Standard Bearer in the 2023 general and presidential elections, and Musa H. Bility as its new Chairman.
Receiving the CPP revised Framework Document for onward transmission to its Standard Bearer, Bility spoke of the renewed zeal and commitment of Liberty Party’s partisans to the ideals and goals of the Collaborating political parties to elect Alexander B. Cummings as the next President of Liberia in the 2023 elections.
Bility described the CPP as a liberation struggle, determined to emancipate Liberia from years of brokenness, divisiveness, and create a conducive business environment for prosperity to reign and improve the lives of all Liberians.
Bility expressed implicit confidence in Cummings’ integrity and capability to restore Liberia’s lost credibility, resuscitate the economy, unify the country and get Liberians back to work again.
“The CPP has space and accommodation for all Liberians, opposition parties and politicians, who are desirous of making Liberia a peaceful and prosperous nation, where all Liberians, irrespective of creed and status would enjoy equal rights under the law,” Bility said.
In accepting the CPP endorsement as its Standard Bearer, Cummings expressed gratitude to the executive and partisans of the Collaborating Political Parties for the confidence reposed in him to be the CPP forerunner against President Weah in the 2023 general elections.
Cummings reaffirmed his commitment to working harder and rallying other opposition political parties and politicians to join rank in liberating the country from the corrupt regime of President Weah.
He assured Liberians of the CPP commitment to genuine real change, corrupt-free society, and working with all Liberians, irrespective of political and religious affiliation, to create a nation that will improve the lives of all Liberians.
Several other executive members of the two constituent parties made special remarks of commitment to the cause of the CPP, amidst cheers and jubilation by thousands of partisans, supporters and sympathizers who braved the rain to attend the program.
