Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Outgoing Montserrado County Electoral District #8 Representative Moses A. Gray and his predecessor Amb. Rufus Neufville and other defeated representative candidates on Thursday rallied thousands of residents for President George Manneh Weah\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n Having the district seat to Mr. Gray, Mr. Neufville later worked in former President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf\u2019s administration as Liberia\u2019s Chief of Protocol.<\/p>\n Last month the duo lost the representative election to Mr. Prince Toles, and their defeat appears to unite the longstanding rivals for Mr. Weah\u2019s re-election campaign.<\/p>\n Over the years Neufville spoke out against President Weah\u2019s regime for alleged misrule. What has changed in the run-off for Mr. Weah to gain Neufville\u2019s support remains a mystery.<\/p>\n Their political rally for Weah\u2019s re-election began at the Saye Town Community through the principal streets of Central Monrovia. It was graced by several supporters, well-wishers and partisans of President Weah\u2019s Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC).<\/p>\n The rally was held under the banner \u201cStreet March for the Re-election bid of President George M. Weah.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, defeated representative candidates from Electoral District #8 including Neufville, James N. Fallah, and Mr. Rufus Towahsam joined efforts to support Weah\u2019s re-election.<\/p>\n In an interview at the start of the march, defeated representative candidate Amb. Neufville said he had endorsed Weah\u2019s re-election bid because he is the best candidate in the run-off.<\/p>\n \u201cI have endorsed the re-election bid of President Weah because he is the best in the runoff. Best upon that, I\u2019m rallying citizens and residents of district #8 along with Representative Gray to awaken our people to the development and progress of this government,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n For their parts, Mr. James N. Fallah, and defeated candidate Mr. Rufus Towahsam said that after several negations with Representative Gray, they came to the point of endorsing and rallying citizens for President Weah.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are supporting President Weah\u2019s re-election bid not because he is handsome, but because he has the plan to transform Liberia,\u201d the defeated representative candidates said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want him to continue and complete the many progress he had started for a new Liberia,\u201d they said further.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Liberia<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Lincoln G.
