Today, I want to inform you [that] there are a lot of recycled politicians moving around, but don\u2019t allow yourself to be used by them,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>He vowed that the NDP will be a formidable force in the pending elections, adding that they are a party that will determine the future of Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>He informed the public that Liberians\u2019 future will not be muscled, adding that his party has come to make the difference and to inform politicians that they have the NDP to contend with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will produce representatives and senators, and we will determine [who becomes] president of Liberia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, NDP secretary general Jerry Yarkpah said the dream of the formulation of NDP began with the single idea of lifting the people out of poverty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we can proudly say the NDP has registered over nine representative candidates in the upcoming October polls,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>He urged partisans and supporters to vote the NDP candidates for the growth of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will never let you down, we are the NDP [and we] will produce not less than 10 representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, NDP\u2019s Montserrado County Electoral District #13 representative hopeful Ayouba G. Dauda Swaray said the district will be redeemed from \u201cthe drugs man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need individuals who are involved in narcotic substance to be our lawmaker. Now is the time to redeem our people and the district in particular,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s you and I that will say no to drugs, say no lack of jobs. We are here today to vote against bad governance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Swaray suggested that the people continue to face hardship, lack jobs, better health care due to an alleged bad and irresponsible government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lewis S Teh &nbsp; Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
