Africa-Press – Liberia. It seems like the power struggle within the National Patriotic Party (NPP) of jailed former President Charles Taylor will never go away, as new conflict emerges.
The latest conflict follows the signing of a purported “resolution” to commit the party to the governing Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) ahead of the 2023 elections. That resolution has backfired bringing the legality of the CDC framework document which commits the NPP to the process in doubt, at least according to the NPP embattled Chairman Sen. James Biney.
In a five-point letter addressed to the National Elections Commission Chairperson Davidetta Browne-Lansanah, Sen. Biney requests NEC to return the resolution and framework document for the process to be done properly.
He also asked NEC not to do business with former Representative George Mulbah in his purported role as “Acting Chairman” of NPP.
Excerpts of the letter:
“I present my compliments and herewith bring to the attention of the National Elections Commission activities unfolding within the National Patriotic Party (NPP) as indicated below:
In view of the five counts stated above, I request the National Elections Commission to investigate and see reason to return said resolution and framework document for the process to be done properly and in line with the constitution of the Party. Furthermore, I call on the Commission NOT to do business with partisan George S. Mulbah in his purported capacity as “Acting Chairman” of the NPP in violation of Article 5.1 of the NPP Constitution. Please find attached copies of the NPP’s constitution, the so-called resolution, and the framework document.”
