Monrovia – President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has been ousted from the party that brought and sustained her in power for the past 12 years. She was expelled from the Unity Party (UP) late Saturday evening, January 13, 2018. The release stated the Article VII which spells out the obligation, rights, and entitlements of members of the Unity Party was violated by the President. “The decision to expel took the NEC of the party a long time because it has to be established that those expelled had actually violated the constitution of the party. The behavior of the expelled persons also constitutes sabotage and undermined the existence of the party,” the release noted.
