Former President George M. Weah has accused President Joseph N. Boakai of undermining the peace, democracy and security of the country. The former President criticized the conduct of the Boakai administration and its support for the lawless actions of some members of the House of Representatives, which he said is detrimental to Liberia’s democratic process.
“My decision to concede defeat before the announcement of the final results and promptly congratulate President Boakai after the election was to safeguard our nation’s peace and stability by reducing post-election tensions,” he said.
However, Weah said, the vices of the UP administration—some of which are outright violations of the Constitution—pose a grave threat to the peace and security of Liberia.
Weah made the accusation during discussions with a high-level ECOWAS delegation on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
In response, ECOWAS reaffirmed its commitment to regional stability and pledged its continued support for Liberia’s democratic institutions.
The talks particularly centered on upholding the rule of law—a fundamental pillar for Liberia’s progress—amid rising tensions within the House of Representatives of the National Legislature.
The ECOWAS delegation was led by Ibrahim Gambari, former Nigerian Foreign Minister, who also formerly served as United Nations Under-Secretary General.
