The former Chairman for the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Mulbah K. Morlu, who recently resigned his position but maintained his membership with the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), has, again, written the party’s leadership to tender his resignation, finally quitting the party and moving on to become the Lead Advocate for the Solidarity and Trust for a New Day (STAND), a civil society movement recently established to foster the advocacy of justice in the country.
In his resignation letter, Morlu said, “I am writing to inform you that a cross-section of the Liberian populace has chosen me as Chairman and Lead Advocate of the Solidarity and Trust for a New Day (STAND).”
According to him, STAND is a diverse, non-political civil society and advocacy organization dedicated to the eradication of impunity in Liberia without allegiance to any political ideology or party, and their overarching mission is to carve a new path for Liberia, free from the burdens of injustice, corruption, poverty and hunger in the land endowed with abundant natural resources.
However, he said, this opportunity requires that he devotes his entire being to these noble causes which, he believes, hold the promise for a brighter future.
“Notwithstanding, it also demands that I uphold the highest ethical standards to ensure that our actions remain impartial, moral, and nonpartisan. Towards this end, I hereby tender my resignation from the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) effective immediately.
“I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the National Executive Committee, and particularly to the esteemed members of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), for their unwavering support over the years while I diligently served in various capacities, including National Chairman.
“Finally, I extend an open invitation to my numerous supporters, well-wishers and admirers, as well as the larger society, to join me in my civil society initiatives as we work together to carve out a brighter future for our common patrimony,” Morlu wrote.
