This year, we could not achieve and desperately we missed that opportunity, so I don\u2019t see the need for us to celebrate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Montserrado County lawmaker instead said he is now focused on reflecting and recalibrating to get prepared for another celebration in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, as the National Elections Commission on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 declared the runoff presidential election between President George Weah and Ambassador Joseph Boakai, the lawmaker said his biggest focus is the election of former Vice President Boakai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to make some critical decisions because if I\u2019m not part of the plan, I can\u2019t be part of it. It\u2019s like CDC people afraid to incorporate us because they say our desire for Joseph Boakai is high,\u201d Kiazolu adds.<b> <\/b><\/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 Ethel A Tweh Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
