“Vote Liberia’s Future”

President George Weah has called on Liberians to vote for the country's future by reelecting in the runoff elections on November 14.

Tuesday's election, according to the President, is about sustained peace, development, stability, and progress, which his administration has achieved as he boasts of being reelected. 

Weah made the remarks on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) official campaign closure held at the party’s headquarters in Congo Town, which brought together scores of supporters and partisans.

Yesterday’s run-off election campaign closure brought together political leader of the All Liberian Party (ALP) Benoni W. Urey, former critics of President Weah Henry P. Costa, former chairman of Liberty Party (LP) and now supporter of Weah Ben Sanvee, Senator-elect of Margibi County Nathaniel F. McGill and others.

Weah said Liberians should take pride in looking back on the past six years, in the progress made wherein the country has seen many improvements in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development.

Weah further highlighted specific steps taken to elevate the development bar, saying that his government took drastic steps to tackle corruption, promote foreign investment, and create job opportunities for our citizens. 

He, however, reckoned that in spite of tremendous progress made, there is still much more work to be done.

"I want to assure you that, with renewed vigor, I will dedicate my efforts during the second term to accelerating the pace of implementation of existing programs and policies," Weahindicated.

"We will also take on new initiatives that will further justify the vote of confidence being placed in us by these numerous endorsements,” he said.

President Weah also pledged to continue to listen to their concerns and aspirations and use them as compass for shaping a Liberia that truly represents the wishes and dreams of its people.

"We stand united today, united in the belief that our country's best days are still ahead of us. This runoff election is not just about re-electing me as president for a second term. It is about Liberia's future. It is about your children, your families, your communities, and the generations to come," President Weah said. 

"Together, we will continue to forge a path toward progress, peace, and prosperity," he went on, saying. 

Weah rallied all Liberians to stand behind the cause of the CDC and to cast their vote for Number 2 spot on the ballot for a brighter and better Liberia, a nation of unity and strength, a nation that strives for a prosperous and harmonious future.

The Liberian Leader also took note of the plethora of endorsements of overwhelming support from various opposition parties, including not only their leaders but also their grassroots membership base.

Weah indicated that the CDC has also received endorsements from various special interest groups and other important organizations, including youths and first-time voters. "

According to him, the many endorsements are manifestations of trust and confidence in his leadership. 

The CDC Strongman urged Liberians to "believe me, they have not gone unnoticed, and I do not take them for granted. I am deeply grateful for these public and open demonstrations of your unwavering support."

President Weah used the time to recommit to a peaceful and credible election, saying that he will do all that is within "our power to ensure that this election will be free and fair and transparent."
