House Speaker, Dr. Bhofal Chambers, has predicted that the governing Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) will win the general and presidential elections due on October 10, 2023 with 56 percent of the total vote cast, to the surprise of its critics.
Speaker Chambers’ prediction comes in the wake of recent endorsement of the party’s Standard Bearer, President George Manneh Weah, by fifty-six lawmakers in both houses of the National Legislature.
Speaking to the Hot Pepper Wednesday, Dr. Chambers, who is also a stalwart of the governing party, disclosed that each of the signatories to the endorsement statement has a potential to contribute one percent of the figure leading to the 56% percent.
Dr. Chamber indicated that the lawmakers are fully in support of the President’s second-term bid, noting that they are prepared to do everything within their power to ensure that the 56% is achieved at the ballot box during the first round of the October polls.
He warned the opposition to stop what he termed as downplaying the popularity and strength of his party, and instead form alliances with it in building a strong democratic state.
The Speaker, who led the endorsement exercise of the lawmakers at the CDC headquarter in Congo Town recently, called on Liberians to reinforce their support for the re-election of President George Manneh Weah and reject the opposition at the ballot box.
When asked about his personal contribution to the fifty-six percent victory he has predicted for the governing party, the Maryland County lawmaker pointed out that voters in his county have assured him of the their readiness to stand with him.
Dr. Chamber, who is reportedly making headways in consultation with residents of Sodoken District, Maryland County, for his own re-election in October, observed that his people are prepared to vote massively for the party.
He disclosed that he and other pro-CDC lawmakers in the county are working collectively to help Maryland produce not less than five percent of the total votes.
