Maryland County District #2 Representative, the man who dragged Bhofal Chambers, the ex-speaker of the 54th National Legislature, and defeated Representative of Sodoken District in Pleebo, Anthony F. Williams has expressed thanks and appreciation to his people who elected him during the October 10, 2023 elections.
In his social media post on social media, Representative Williams said, “My official appreciation to everybody who stood by me financially or morally during the elections period up to voting day on October 10, 2023 and the rerun election on January 25, 2024. It was not easy after the October 10, election result that declared us winner by the National Election commission on the 18, of October 2023.
Since the National Election commission NEC declared us winner on the 18 of October 2023, we been going through legal battle at the NEC and the supreme court for the passed four months October 2023 to January 2024, so we could not officially appreciate all of you due to the case being in court by mr. Bhofal Chambers challenging our winning or victory over him but now that i am the legitimate winner and certificated Representative of Pleebo sodoken district #2, Maryland County, i am using today for my official appreciation of everybody.
After the long walk to freedom, liberation, emancipation and happiness for our people in Pleebo Sodoken District #2, Maryland County, I come humble with my heart full of joy and endless appreciation for everybody who stood by me through the elections.
Starting with the first election I won on October 10, 2023, the results were challenged by Mr. Bhofal Chambers for four months from October to January 2024 at the National Election Commission and later the Supreme Court of Liberia.
The Supreme Court ruled that we should go for a rerun in Old Sodoken polling station #1 and polling station #2. This ruling disappointed, frustrated and frightened all of you because by overturning my earlier win in October, it placed me at a disadvantage in the rerun election in Old Sodoken.
It gave my opponent Mr. Bhofal Chambers a lead over me of 467 votes, which many thought made it impossible for me to come back as the winner.
But by the grace of God and with our people standing firm along with your tremendous financial and moral support, I was brought back as the final winner of the rerun election in Old Sodoken on January 25, 2024. I appreciate all you did for me during this election, dating back to the 2017 election when I finished second place, and now as the winner of the October 10, 2023 election that was just concluded with the rerun in Old Sodoken.
Just know that we are inside, but WHO KNOWS? ONE DAY, ONE DAY!
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished colleagues and above all, my beloved people of Pleebo Sodoken District #2, Maryland County:

We both know that titles come and go, but my commitment to you, to Pleebo District #2, Maryland County and Liberia remains unshaken. My advocacy for your rights, needs, happiness, better environment and aspirations will never be compromised or diluted because of money, political friendships, family affiliations or favoritism of any kind.
