Manyon, CAB\u2019s Secretary General and approved by the association\u2019s National President\/CEO, Beyan G. Kota.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tolerance of the country\u2019s democratic institutions, demonstrated in the conduct of these elections by the National Elections Commission (NEC), is a testament to the resilience of the Liberian spirit, sensitive and responsive to the needs of all voters, particularly the visually impaired, through the provision of ballot guides, was instrumental, inclusive, transparent and credible elections. This milestone serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for the region and the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe acknowledge that the true winners of these elections are the people of Liberia,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cWhile commending President-Elect Joseph N. Boakai for his victory, CAB remains steadfast in its belief that the principles guiding the development of the new government will be reflective of the needs and aspirations of Liberia\u2019s underprivileged and marginalized populations. We urge the new government to prioritize national prosperity for all, ensuring that no one is left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this regard, we wish to remind the new government of its commitment to deliver the ambitious program set out in its national recovery agenda, a roadmap towards economic growth and development, robust training, and decent jobs for our youths, and comprehensive social protection for our elderly and disabled citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge President-Elect Boakai to use his victory to unite the people of Liberia, fulfill his campaign promises, and extend forgiveness to those who opposed him. We further urge the Unity Party to make deliberate efforts to deliver on its campaign promises to the people of Liberia and forgive those who may have worked against them, all in a bid to build a stronger, united, and prosperous Liberia for the benefit of all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>*We want them to be reminded that this victory is not for them alone, but for all Liberians. As the adage goes, &#8220;In union there is strength, and success is sure.&#8221; With our rights to proof, we shall all prevail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory will forever remember President George M. Weah for the love and courage displayed in the place of compromise for the betterment of our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the commendable efforts of the Liberian government and its people, we must also recognize the invaluable contributions of international organizations in maintaining peace and supporting the democratic process in Liberia. These organizations, including the United Nations, (UN), the United States Government, The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), The European Union (EU), and the African Union (AU), as well as other partner countries who have played a pivotal role in creating an environment conducive to free and fair elections. Their unwavering support and commitment to Liberia&#8217;s democratic journey have been instrumental in ensuring the peaceful transition of power. We urge them to continue their support as Liberia embarks on a new chapter of its democratic journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Liberia celebrates this significant milestone, we must remain vigilant in safeguarding the gains made and continue to strive for a more inclusive, prosperous, and just society for all Liberians,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/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>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
