The former ruling National Patriotic Party (NPP) has with immediate effect announced its sudden withdrawal from the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) a political marriage birth in 2017.
The pronouncement was made through its National Chairman Attorney George Sylvester Mulbah, Thursday, February 15, 2024.
The CDC had been a Coalition of three Political Parties including the National Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberia People Democratic Party (LPDP) and Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
In an interview, on a local radio station (Super Bongese 104.9MHz) in Gbarnga Attorney Mulbah said the NPP’s decision is marred by the irregularities and humiliations orchestrated by Senior Stalwarts of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
Attorney Mulbah alleged that the framework document signed between political parties which sum up the Coalition for Democratic Change was violated by former President Weah’s Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
“NPP as a party was cheated in the governance processes of the Weah’s regime and so we no longer see it prudent to form part of the coalition as we await the 2029 election” Attorney George Sylvester Mulbah said.
He said the Coalition agreement was terminated as of January 22, 2024 following the inauguration of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
According to him, the NPP will feed former Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor as its Standard Bearer in the 2029 elections.
Meanwhile, the NPP’s National Chairman mandated members, supporters and affiliates of the party to back-off from the Congress for Democratic Change’s pending Buchanan convention.
