Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>President George Manneh Weah has commenced his campaign rally in vote-rich Lofa County, telling residents that he is still their son and they should support his re-election bid.<\/p>\nIn previous presidential elections, Mr. Weah received low support from Lofa compared to his main rival Amb. Joseph Nyumah Boakai who hails from the county.<\/p>\n
In 2011, Mr. Weah\u2019s Congress for Democratic Change (CDC)obtained just 13.9% of the votes count, while Amb. Boakai\u2019s Unity Party (UP) obtained 71%.<\/p>\n
In the 2017 elections, Mr. Weah and his Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) also obtained 15.80%, and Boakai\u2019s UP obtained 84.20 % of the vote in Lofa.<\/p>\n
But speaking during his presidential campaign rally in Zorzor City, Lofa County, President Weah pleaded with voters to back him for more developments.<\/p>\n
He boasted of gains made in his administration in nearly six years of rule, including connecting roads, building more hospitals, and providing free education.<\/p>\n
He assured them of more developments if he is re-elected.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2017, they announced the election results and they said Lofa County did not vote for me. We won 14 counties, and Lofa County did not vote for me,\u201d Weah explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I asked why, but nobody could answer,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me Lofa County, it doesn\u2019t matter the percentage you give me. The whole idea of voting for me, whether it\u2019s 10%, 15%, or 25%, but I\u2019m still your son,\u201d Weah pleaded.<\/p>\n
He noted that this is why Lofaians have seen unprecedented developments.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mr. Weah has accused his main rival Amb. Joseph Nyumah Boakai of doing nothing for the people of Lofa County.<\/p>\n
He referred to Boakai\u2019s campaign as a \u201cResting Team,\u201d instead of Rescue Team.<\/p>\n
Weah believes that it is only his government that can rescue Liberians.<\/p>\n
\u201cLofa County this is our time. Let us seize the moment, and believe in this government. This is the only government that can rescue you,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Weah argued that voters can see with evidence unprecedented developments.<\/p>\n
In a brief statement, CDC senatorial candidate in Lofa County, Moses Kollie stressed that the people of Lofa have now seen the light of development and will support those who believe in development.<\/p>\n
He said this time, the narrative of the low percentage of votes in Lofa County will change.<\/p>\n
He reaffirmed Lofaians\u2019 commitment to vote for leaders who will develop their county, saying they will overwhelmingly vote for President Weah.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not about county meet where if you are from a specific county you must support it, but this time around, we are in for total development and Lofa County has resolved to vote you Mr. President,\u201d said Mr. Kollie .<\/p>\n
