Dr. McIntosh was nominated on April 6, 2022 as Chairman of the Governance Commission (GC) by the Liberian Chief Executive.<\/p>\n

The President said the withdrawal of the nomination is to allow Dr. McIntosh to pursue his political ambition. In a letter dated April 28, 2022, Dr. McIntosh wrote the President expressing his desire to fully participate in the 2023 Presidential and Legislative elections.<\/p>\n

Dr. McIntosh said Section 5.3.4 of the Act which created the Commission states \u201cCommissioners must be nonpartisan to prevent the Governance Agenda and Process from being a political one\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dr. Weah graciously accepted the letter and wished him well in his future endeavors.<\/p>\n
