The Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Alexander Cummings, was on Wednesday, August 23, given a rousing welcome by hundreds of residents of district #14, including Vai Town, Gibralta, Clara Town, Cow Factory, Abuja and the Doe Community, Bushrod Island.

Accompanied by a large crowd, Cummings began walking from the Clara Town Store, made brief stops at the Varnee Mosque and the Feed My Sheep Church, where he made passionate pleas to both the Muslim and Christian communities to pray fervently for God’s divine guidance to help Liberians choose good leaders on October 10.
Liberians, wearing CPP t-shirts from adjacent communities in Freeport, Paco Yard, Cow Factory, and other areas, carried banners with Cumming and Brumskine’s photos, and chanted slogans of support and solidarity with the CPP.
The CPP Standard Bearer also made a brief stop at district #14, where he had personal encounters with residents, shared his campaign posters and explained his vision of economic prosperity and alleviating hunger and extreme poverty in Liberia.
