Yarwin Mehnsonnoh, located in Nimba Country Electoral District #9, is one of the populous areas within the county and is also the home of Madam Gongloe-Weh. She is credited for reaching out to the minority and ‘marginalized’ tribal groups within the county during her leadership. The former Nimba County Superintendent has contested the county’s senatorial seat twice, coming second to incumbent Senators Thomas Grupee in 2011 and Prince Johnson in 2014, respectively. If she accepts the petition from her native homeland and throws her hat into the county’s political arena for the third time, she will be facing stiff competition from fellow native of Yarwin Mehnsonnoh, former Superintendent Dorr Cooper, businessman Taa Wongbe, former Nimba County Superintendent Adolphus Dolo and incumbent Senator Thomas Grupee.
