The Unity Party was only able to win one county (Lofa County) out of the 15 counties during the presidential runoff elections. Despite the party’s Standard-bearer Vice President Joseph Boakai being the first standard-bearer in recent time to give out a concession speech after the election result, Paye said their party will be “robust as opposition party and not idle”. Paye said although the party had already been coined as an opposition party during the election, their defeat to the CDC has officially made them an opposition party. The Unity Party Chairman said the party will not be silent or quiet. “Our party will not be a party in the opposition; but it will be a party that is people center party, a party that will not just go on radio and criticize, a party that will not violet our tradition and insult our elders”, he said.
