Africa-Press – Liberia. In a recent event held at her residence in Ganta, former Superintendent and defeated senatorial candidate Madam Edith Gongloe-Weh took a firm stance against growing speculation surrounding her potential bid for the vice-presidential position in the upcoming 2029 elections.

The occasion was characterized by discussions and an atmosphere of camaraderie as supporters rallied around her leadership. Many attendees expressed their admiration for her work as a public servant and conveyed their hope for her continued involvement in Nimba County’s political landscape.

The event concluded with a spirited call to action, as Gongloe-Weh encouraged everyone to stay engaged in the political process, regardless of future electoral ambitions. As the 2029 elections draw closer, her declaration serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of Liberian politics and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Madam Gongloe-Weh, a former superintendent and senatorial candidate, has faced challenges in her political journey, finishing as a runner-up in elections since 2011. Despite these setbacks, she remains focused and optimistic about her dream of obtaining leadership in the county.

Since 2011, they have stood by me, and I appreciate their steadfastness in rejecting offers from rival parties.”
