The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has postponed the nomination program of President George M. Weah to February 4, 2023. The CDC had earlier set December 20, 2022 as the day for the national nomination of President Weah to resurface on the party’s political ticket to contest for the second term of the Liberian presidency in the ensuing 2023 elections.
During a press conference at the CDC headquarters Friday in Congo Town, Mulbah K. Morlu, Chairman of the CDC, said the change in date was triggered by an appeal from their standard bearer, President Weah, who officially wrote the National Executive Committee of the party requesting the postponement of the ceremony to allow the citizens across the country to have time for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The CDC National Chair added that the program will be held at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Monrovia, noting that all activities marking the program remain unchanged.
Chairman Morlu further admonished members of the CDC throughout the country to make their way to the Roberts International Airport to officially welcome back to the country, President George Weah on December 18, 2022.
Ahead of the nomination of President Weah for the presidency, the party Chair disclosed that they are seeing the enthusiasm, adding that this demonstrates that the people are resolved to reposing their confidence in President Weah for his tremendous work done over the years for the country.
According to him, the CDC is a party of defense, and will ensure the historic re-election of President Weah in 2023, and that the CDC will break its own record. “We do not reject the opposition criticism but nothing can stop the first round victory of President Weah. The planned protest by the opposition is meant to counter the progress and momentum of the CDC as demonstrated by their internal motive,” Morlu asserted.
Meanwhile, Mulbah Morlu has announced that the party will have an elaborate children’s party both at the national headquarters and other parts of the country on December 24, 2022.
He said the program is President George Weah’s project, aimed at putting smile on the faces of those irrespective of their parents’ political affiliation.
Morlu also noted that the old folks across Liberia will be greeted with honor per district and county with a special gift from the President, admonishing all lawmakers to take seriously these two programs.
