Africa-Press – Liberia. The opposition Congress of Democratic Change (CDC) has revised its earlier disciplinary action by removing Margibi County District Five representative from the list of lawmakers it previously announced as expelled.
The decision, the party says, follows an internal verification process linked to the controversial petition seeking the expulsion of Monsterrado County District 10 lawmaker Yekeh Kolubah.
According to the CDC, a detailed review of the document containing signatures of lawmakers who supported the move against Kolubah showed that Jones’ name was not included.
The party said the omission confirms that he was wrongly listed among those who endorsed the action.
The CDC, in its official statement, clarified that the correction was necessary to ensure factual accuracy. “Upon careful scrutiny of the records associated with the Kolubah expulsion effort, it was established that Ivar Jones did not sign the resolution. Consequently, his name has been withdrawn from the list of expelled members,” the party stated.
The party had earlier issued a statement announcing the expulsion of several lawmakers it accused of acting against its interests. Those lawmakers were alleged to have supported a move to oust Kolubah, a development the CDC described as a violation of party discipline.
Despite the latest adjustment, the CDC maintained its position on the other individuals named in the initial announcement. It stressed that those confirmed to have participated in the action remain expelled, in line with the party’s rules and regulations.
The CDC also acknowledged that the inclusion of Jones in the earlier list was an oversight. It noted that the correction demonstrates its resolve to uphold fairness and transparency in its internal processes.
At the same time, the party called on its members to remain committed to unity and to respect its established structures. It warned against actions that could undermine cohesion within its ranks.
