On Wednesday, November 8, Chief Kawor said the National Traditional Council of Liberia in partnership with the inter-religious council took a decision to intervene in the ongoing legal battle between the LP and the NEC. For him, the LP leadership does not want any out-of-court settlement, and so, “The Traditional Council should not waste their time, to… be thinking of establishing any form of conversation with the Liberty Party. Let me inform the Liberian people that nobody should waste their time on this matter for out-of-court settlement,” the LP official said. The party standard bearer, Charles Walker Brumskine, has earlier ruled out any settlement to the crisis, except a ruling from the Supreme Court. Like the National Traditional Council of Chiefs and Elders, the opposition Movement for Progressive Change (MPC) political leader, Simeon Freeman, has written several groups, including the traditional council and the inter-religious council, requesting for their intervention to resolve the current political impasse so as to move the country forward.
