Liberian radio personality Bernard Benson, known popularly as DJ Blue, has expressed interest in the Montserrado County senatorial by-election due in May after two weeks of speculations. The Montserrado senate seat became vacant after Senator George Weah emerged victorious in the just-ended presidential runoff election. He added, “Frankly speaking, the entertainment industry in Liberia has been neglected for years, and despite outcry from creative individuals, nothing has been done. DJ Blue will be the third major player from the entertainment industry who will be contesting elections. Although the two entertainers were unsuccessful in their bids for the Capitol, they campaigned about putting forth a legislation that would help promote the country’s music industry.
