Africa-Press – Liberia. What was meant to be a celebratory groundbreaking for the CDC’s new party headquarters turned into a logistical nightmare on Saturday October 18, 2025, as thousands of supporters showed up, far exceeding the venue’s capacity.
The overwhelming turnout forced many attendees to gather along the surrounding roads, while some even climbed palm trees to catch a glimpse of former President George Weah delivering remarks.
The congestion disrupted pedestrian and vehicle movement, raising serious concerns about the site’s limitations. The venue was too small to contain the massive crowd.
Party insiders and observers who we spoke with warn that the small size of the new headquarters could become a source of embarrassment during future events.
During major events, the space may be unable to accommodate members and supporters, potentially impacting the party’s image and organizational effectiveness.
“If this is how crowded it is for a groundbreaking, imagine larger rallies or official celebrations,” one supporter noted.
While the party had notified the Ministry of Justice ahead of the event and no major security issues occurred, observers warned that the small size of the new headquarters could cause future embarrassment.
Why The groundbreaking marks a milestone for the CDC, but the turnout underscores the need for a larger, better equipped venue to avoid repeating the crowding and logistical issues seen on Saturday.
