Africa-Press – Liberia. President George Weah has sharply reacted to opposition claims, that they will make him a one-time President, expressing overwhelming confidence that he will be re-elected through a pure democratic process. He said his tangibles will speak for him, at the ballot box.
Liberians are expected to go to the poll later this year in October in a general and presidential elections.
President Weah and his Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) is seeking re-election in what is expected to be a tense battle.
The elections which are months away come at a time Mr. Weah has been hugely criticized by members of the Opposition Community, for what they termed as infusing hardship on Liberians, and driving the country backwards.

The rally was aimed at sending a message to the outside world that Liberians are suffering under the leadership of Mr. Weah.
Mr. Cummings has repeatedly vowed to make Mr. Weah a one-term president-something which has been echoed by other opposition figures including former vice president Joseph Boakai.
But speaking Thursday, 26th January 2023, when he toured the refurbished Mini- Sports Pitch in the densely populated township of West Point, Montserrado, electoral district # 7, Weah dismissed the opposition claim, saying he will be re-elected ahead of them.
Mr. Weah described such claims as bad luck, boasting that he has done so much in his short term as President, with so much developments that Liberians are enjoying today.
He said because of the ongogin developments he has brought to the country Liberians will overwhelmingly elect him in the pending election to complete his development program.
He argued that there is no one within the opposition that can make him a one-term president because of his achievements.
“Those People, that repose the confidence in me, and make me President, ” are seeing unprecedented developments in every area, and these are the same people, who are satisfied with the work I’m doing for this country, and will overwhelmingly re-elect me, and nobody, can stop it, President Weah, said.
