The Movement for Economic Empowerment (MOVEE) has announced a huge political festival in honor of Minister Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., its recently elected political leader who currently serves as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
MOVEE’s National Chairman, Robert M. Sammie, made the announcement at the party’s Paynesville headquarters on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. He explained that the purpose of the political rally’s is to present Minister Kemayah with the party’s decision from its Emergency National Convention on September 17, 2022.
MOVEE, at its emergency convention recently held in Monrovia, elected Minister Kemayah as its political leader in absentia. The political rally was required, according to Chairman Sammie, because Foreign Minister Kemayah was not present despite the unanimous vote.
He disclosed that on Friday, October 7, 2022, the party will have a special National Executive Committee (NEC) sitting to make a number of critical decisions intended to reposition the party and make it a formidable force, though the party is most likely not to field a presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential and legislative elections, but only representative and senatorial candidates.
According to the MOVEE Chairman, a lot of work is being done to ensure the program’s success. He claimed that while extensive repairs and cleanup are being done at MOVEE’s headquarters, mobilization is happening throughout Montserrado County’s 17 electoral districts. “The hoisting of the party and county flags, as well as the unveiling of a massive billboard at the party’s headquarters would kick off the program on Saturday,” he said.
Following the function on Saturday, all elected officials, according to Chairman Sammie, will go to a meet-and-greet event with the political leader on Sunday, following an intercessory service at a nearby church in Monrovia.
He stated that supporters of MOVEE, sympathizers, and affiliates will assemble in large numbers to welcome the political leader and formally announce the decision to name him political leader of MOVEE at the recently concluded Emergency National Convention, which was held on September 17, 2022.
At the ceremony on October 8, 2022, it is anticipated that Minister Kemayah will give an acceptance speech.
The True Whig Party (TWP), Victory for Change Party (VCP) and Democratic Justice Party (DJP) are three of the four constituent parties of the opposition Rainbow Alliance, which also includes the Movement for Economic Empowerment (MOVEE).
Given that its Political Leader is a top government official and a fervent admirer of President Weah, it is unclear whether MOVEE will stay in the alliance.
