On October 31, the Bush Chicken newspaper reported that the Unity Party (UP) was joining forces with the All Liberia Party (ALP) and the Liberty Party (LP) to dispute irregularities in the October 10, 2017 election. It is reasonable for the ALP to join the Liberty Party dispute. Now, in the case of the Unity Party, it is very difficult to understand what proverbial fish the ruling party has to fry in Liberty Party’s political oil. By joining the Liberty Party, the Unity Party has put emotions in favor of strategy. The emotional decision by the Unity Party to join the Liberty Party in protesting the October elections could cost them a chance at winning the presidency.
