Liberian Opposition Shows United Front Ahead of 2029 Election

Several opposition leaders have attended the 22nd anniversary celebration of former President George Weah’s Coalition for Democratic Change, igniting debates about the likelihood of a united opposition coalition ahead of the 2029 election. While no formal coalition agreement was announced, analysts say the gathering projected an “unmistakable image” of opposition solidarity.

Addressing the audience through a livestream from the U.S., Weah urged cooperation among the political parties: “Our differences should never become obstacles to defending Liberia. Whenever democracy is threatened, whenever citizens are struggling, and whenever accountability becomes weakened, responsible opposition leaders have a duty to stand together regardless of party affiliation.”
