Supporters of the Liberty Party Grand Bassa County chapter and the religious community in the county endorsed the presidential bid of Vice President Joseph Boakai on Thursday, December 21. Earlier in Monrovia, officials of the Liberty Party opted to back Boakai’s presidency few days after some executive members of the party including vice standard bearer Harrison Karnwea switched lanes to the Coalition for Democratic Change. Responding to his endorsement, the Unity Party standard bearer assured a better life for Liberians. The pro-Boakai team was denied by the youth wing from hosting the planned endorsement ceremony at the Liberty Party headquarters, prompting the organizers to relocate to the UP headquarters. He described the collaboration of the Liberty Party, the All Liberian Party, True Whig Party and the Alternative National Congress as movement to “save Liberia and pledged to work with them if elected President”.
