Africa-Press – Liberia. FrontPage Africa has learned that Musa Bility, Chairman of the opposition Liberty Party (LP), has resigned from the party. The reasons behind Bility’s resignation remain unclear, and when contacted, he neither confirmed nor denied the news but promised to issue a public statement soon.
During Bility’s leadership, the Liberty Party faced a significant split in the lead-up to the 2023 general elections. Key members of the party, including Political Leader Senator Nyonblee Karngar-Lawrence and Senator Darius Dillon, were expelled.
Karngar-Lawrence and her faction aligned themselves with the Unity Party Alliance, which ultimately won the presidency, while Bility and the LP remained part of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), backing Alexander Cummings. Cummings, however, lost the presidential race.
Though the Liberty Party has since left the CPP, Bility and Cummings maintain a close relationship. Sources have informed FrontPage Africa that Rep. Bility met with Mr. Cummings, the CPP standard bearer, on Tuesday to inform him of his decision to step down as party chair.
