F. Kenyor, said that the union&#8217;s decision to endorse Boakai was based on his record of service to the country and his commitment to improving the lives of ordinary Liberians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have come to a conclusion that the best person to lead our country is Ambassador Joseph Nyuma Boakai,&#8221; Kenyor said. &#8220;He is a man of integrity and a man of the people. He has a proven track record of service to Liberia, and he is committed to improving the lives of all Liberians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Boakai, who is the standard bearer of the Unity Party, thanked the FMTUL for its endorsement. He said that he was honored to have the support of the union, and he pledged to work with them to improve the lives of motorcyclists and tricycle operators in Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am grateful for the support of the FMTUL,&#8221; Boakai said. &#8220;I know that together, we can make Liberia a better place for all of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 presidential election is scheduled to be held on October 10, 2023. Boakai is running against incumbent President George Weah.
