Editorial: Public Concern About Sen. Prince K. Moye As Running Mate To Amb. Joseph N. Boakai

OVER THE PAST few weeks, Senator Prince K. Moye’s name has been surfacing as an option to be selected as vice presidential candidate to JNB on the Unity Party’s ticket, and it is clear that the public will heavily critique whomever Joseph Boakai selects as running mate as Liberians are getting more and more sensitive to the reputation and character of those serving in the public space.

AGAINST THIS BACKDROP, LDP-23 says it has joined many other Liberians who have raised serious concerns about any possibility of selecting Senator Prince Moye as running mate to Joseph Boakai.

THE GROUP WARNED the UP Standard Bearer against selecting a running mate that could present the task of having to be defended in the public for several months against allegations of the past and present that could unnecessarily cause distraction and undermine the chances of the UP ticket.

ACCORDING TO LDP-23, since the rumors about Senator Moye’s selection emerged, opponents of Ambassador Boakai, both within the opposition community and in the governing CDC, have already started gathering and compiling old and new allegations against the Bong County Senator that could keep the party and its supporters busy defending him and distracted from selling the ticket and platform of the Unity Party.

THE GROUP SAID opposition to Ambassador Boakai have already resurrected and lined up allegations of immorality and sexual abuse against Senator Prince Moye that could hamper, in a very serious way, any chance of Joseph Boakai and the Unity Party running a successful campaign and winning the 2023 presidential election.

THESE ACCUSATIONS, LDP-23 opined, would raise a serious red flag on Senator Prince K. Moye’s running-mate position to Ambassador Joseph N. Boakai, and could cause serious distraction.

LDP-23 SAID THEY believe if care is not taken and political wisdom not exercised similar fate could befall the UP with a Moye selection as running mate because the Liberian society is gullible and time is limited to be busy defending a ticket and responding to barrage of accusations instead of focusing on the platform, policies and/or agenda of the JNB presidential mission.
