Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The simmering internal wrangling within the National Patriotic Party (NPP), one of the sects in the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) reached its peak during the Party\u2019s biennial convention over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The convention was meant to elect the party\u2019s new officials ahead of the crunch meeting with the other two factions of the ruling Coalition \u2013 the Congress for Democratic Change of President George Weah and the Liberian People Democratic Party (LPDP) of former House Speaker J. Alex Tyler to renegotiate the coalition\u2019s framework document ahead of the 2023 Presidential and Legislative Elections.<\/p>\n

Deepened Discord<\/b><\/p>\n

Judging from the theme, \u201cUnity, Commitment, Trust and Reconciliation, the requirements for a genuine national partnership,\u201d the biennial convention was also meant to unite the party and reconcile the leaders\u2019 differences following years of bitter disagreements, notably between the Party\u2019s Standard Bearer, Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor, and the party\u2019s National Chairman, Maryland County Senator James P. Biney.<\/p>\n

However, Friday\u2019s event held at the Paynesville City Hall was the complete opposite of the partisans\u2019 anticipation \u2013 it was marred by acrimonious disagreements that led to violent altercations between partisans loyal to both leaders.<\/p>\n

Both sides accused each other of tampering with the delegate list and when their disagreement could not be resolved, the convention split, and VP Taylor, claiming to get the backing of thirteen of the party\u2019s county chairpersons moved outdoors with her supporters and conducted their affairs, while Senator Biney and his team stayed within the hall held theirs.<\/p>\n

During VP Taylor faction\u2019s convention, a resolution was adopted declaring all positions within the party vacant, and new leadership was set up. VP Taylor was unanimously chosen as the standard bearer while Cllr. Stanley Kpaklin was elected as National Chairman.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, the Vice President said the decisions reached were legitimate because it meets the approval of the majority members of the party\u2019s executive committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gathered together with all the county chairpersons who brought their delegates. And they have chosen their leaders…There is a resolution that is signed by 13 county chairpersons. So, when you have two-thirds of the delegates that have signed this resolution for this new leadership then it is legitimate. Where the leadership is, is where the party will sit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

On the other divide, Senator Biney was re-elected as the party\u2019s national chairman, along with several others including former Bong County Representative, George Mulbah, Vice Chairman for Administration; Mezgar Daudar, Vice Chairman for Operation and Alison Bargo, Vice Chairman for inter-Party Affairs.<\/p>\n

Senator Biney\u2019s side also adopted a five-count resolution mandating the new Chairman to maintain cooperation with the Coalition for Democratic Change for the 2023 presidential and legislative elections and to re-negotiate the framework document of the CDC.<\/p>\n

He accused VP Taylor of sowing discord within the party and said the election of the party\u2019s new code of officers was in fulfillment of the court\u2019s order to conduct the biennial convention within 45 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis party is based on constitutional democratic values. It is unfortunate that our standard bearer brought herself so low today. But our collective resolve has proven to us that the party is stronger,\u201d Biney said.<\/p>\n

He then constituted a 15-member committee headed by former Grand Cape Mount County Senior Senator Abel Massalay to represent the party in renegotiating the framework document with the CDC and LPDP.<\/p>\n

The National Patriotic Party (NPP), one of the sects, in the Coalition for Democratic Change, has endorsed a Weah-Taylor Ticket as a legitimate structure for the continuation of George M. Weah\u2019s Presidency, come 2023.<\/p>\n

Taylor\u2019s Faction Moves Swiftly<\/b><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in its resolution, VP Taylor\u2019s faction endorsed the reaffirmation document signed by James P. Biney and VP Taylor as a legitimate instrument of the current Coalition for Democratic Change framework document for the continuation of the coalition for the year 2023 Presidential and Legislative Elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving realized the significant and tremendous social, economic and infrastructure development made under the PAPD agenda under the Coalition led government does hereby unanimously endorse the \u201cWEAH-TAYLOR Presidential ticket for 2023\u2032\u2032 Legislative and Presidential elections,\u201d the resolution stated.<\/p>\n

Delegates resolved that the National Executive committee of the NPP constitutes a seven-man committee to lead the process of discussion with Congress for Democratic Change and Liberia People\u2019s Democratic LPDP concerning jobs allocation and other benefits associated with the Coalition for the NPP.<\/p>\n

It was also decided that in recognition of the standard bearer being the Political Leader and highest-ranking officer of the party, it should be enshrined during the amendment of the constitution that the Standard Bearer of the party shall be consulted on all matters of the party before a decision is reached by the National Chairman and corps of Officers.<\/p>\n

The resolution states: \u201cFurther, the amendment shall also reflect that at every called meeting where the Political Leader and Standard Bearer is in attendance, the National Chairman and presiding Officer upon calling to order the meeting, shall turn the gavel of authority to the Standard Bearer to preside over National<\/p>\n

At the same time, the delegates resolved that the National Executive Committee (NEC), shall conduct a comprehensive analysis and inventory of all the party\u2019s assets including 5th Street and Tarr Town properties to determine the status of said properties, and conduct a full audit of the party\u2019s bank account(s) and take appropriate actions to safeguard the party properties and funds.<\/p>\n

The Taylor faction of the Biennial Convention mandated the National Executive Committee (NEC) with the approval of the standard bearer of the Party to be the sole authority to vet and approved partisans for a recommendation for job placement in Government.<\/p>\n

Similarly, they mandated the National Executive Committee (NEC) to ensure that all party programs be passed on by the NEC and appropriated budget be expended accordingly in keeping with administrative and fiscal policies of the party to be developed and adopted by the NEC.<\/p>\n

The convention also provides that during the amendment of the constitution, the standard bearer shall instruct any ranking officer in the line of succession to the National Chairperson and same at the level of the Secretariat to send out citations to convene NEC meetings to plan and implement the conduct of the convention in closed consultation with the Political Leader and Standard Bearer of the party who is the highest ranking officer of the party.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, delegates have instructed that within Six months of the date of the Resolution, the National Executive Committee shall convene a constitution review session for the singular purpose of amending the 2004 Amended Revised Constitution and By-Laws of the party, while the National Executive Committee shall conduct nationwide tour aimed at strengthening the party County Executive Committee (CEC) and Districts Executive Committee (NEC), and conduct elections where there are vacancies within the counties<\/p>\n

\u2018Null and Void\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

In the wake of the split, the Chairman emeritus of the NPP Chief Cyril Allen said the decisions reached by both divides were illegitimate and will not be accepted byb the party.<\/p>\n

Chief Allen said the party\u2019s constitution did not give the authority to VP Taylor, as the standard bearer to preside over a convention. He also noted that while Chairman Biney remains legitimate, the decision reached by his faction could not be accepted because the resolution to open the convention was not officially endorsed by the party\u2019s executive committee.<\/p>\n

He called for both sides to return to status quo ante and implement the court\u2019s mandate in accordance with the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

VP was in error to preside over a convention and direct<\/p>\n

The NPP disputed convention should have been in fulfillment of the Civil Law Court\u2019s mandate to take the Party to its long overdue 7th Biennial Convention in keeping with the 2004 Constitution.<\/p>\n

However, with the misunderstanding, it is highly likely that the disputed parties will return to the court again.<\/p>\n
