MONROVIA – Nimba County Senator who is also a staunch supporter of the George Weah regime says Pres. Weah would be able run for a third term after the December 8 referendum which also has a proposition to amend the presidential tenure. Under the current Constitution, Article 50 reads, “The Executive Power of the Republic shall be vested in the President who shall be Head of State, Head of Government and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia. There have been several calls for the postponement of the December 8 Referendum with many calling for appropriate civic education on the propositions. Also, an advocacy group, the Grassroots Alternative Movement (GAM) in August petitioned the 54th Legislature of Liberia to postpone the upcoming December 8, 2020 Referendum.
