FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAMDG CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF NEC ACTING CHAIRMAN APPOINTMENT TO SAFEGUARD ELECTORAL CREDIBILITY AND NATIONAL STABILITY

Monrovia, Liberia – April 2, 2026:

The Liberia Alternative Movement for Democratic Governance (LAMDG) expresses grave concern over the recent appointment of Mr. Jonathan K. Weedor as Acting Chairman of the National Elections Commission (NEC). In light of the serious implications for electoral integrity and public trust, LAMDG calls for the immediate withdrawal of this appointment.

LAMDG emphasizes that public confidence remains the foundation of any credible democratic electoral process. Elections must not only be conducted in a free and fair manner—they must also be widely perceived as such by all stakeholders. Any individual appointed to lead the National Elections Commission must embody unquestionable neutrality, independence, and integrity. Unfortunately, this appointment has generated significant public concern and risks eroding trust in the electoral system.

Furthermore, LAMDG notes with deep concern the growing perception of a conflict of interest associated with this appointment. Reports suggesting prior involvement of Mr. Weedor in activities connected to the electoral process of President Joseph Boakai raise legitimate questions about impartiality. In democratic governance, perception carries equal weight as procedure. The leadership of the Elections Commission must remain beyond reproach and free from any appearance of political alignment.

Allowing this appointment to stand risks undermining the credibility of future elections, including the 2029 General and Presidential Elections. It creates a dangerous perception that electoral outcomes could be influenced or predetermined—an outcome that could provoke public distrust, electoral disputes, and potential instability.

While the President holds the constitutional authority to make such appointments, LAMDG stresses that this authority must be exercised with utmost caution and responsibility. Decisions of this magnitude must prioritize national interest, reinforce democratic institutions, and strengthen public confidence—not weaken it.

In view of the foregoing, LAMDG respectfully but firmly calls on the President of the Republic to reconsider and immediately withdraw this appointment in the supreme interest of Liberia’s democracy. Protecting the integrity of the electoral process is essential to preserving peace, stability, and the legitimacy of governance in our country.

Liberia’s democracy depends on the trust of its people, and that trust must be protected at all costs.

Signed,
Liberia Alternative Movement for Democratic Governance (LAMDG)

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The Liberia Alternative Movement for Democratic Governance (LAMDG) proudly announces the official launch of Phase One of its flagship national initiative — the R.I.S.E. Program (Resilience, Inclusion, Skills & Empowerment), scheduled for April 27, 2026.

This initiative represents more than a program—it is a strategic national intervention aimed at confronting the growing challenges facing young people across Liberia. At a time when access to education, skills training, and economic opportunity remains limited for many, LAMDG is advancing a bold and structured response grounded in resilience, inclusion, and sustainable empowerment.

As part of this first phase, beneficiary students are currently being placed into accredited partner institutions across five counties, ensuring access to quality education, vocational training, and community-based engagement opportunities.

In response to the significant increase in interest from young people nationwide, LAMDG is actively expanding its reach by increasing the number of participating schools in each county. This step is critical to ensuring that inclusion remains at the heart of this initiative and that no deserving young person is excluded due to limited capacity.

The R.I.S.E. Program is built on four core pillars:
• Resilience – Strengthening the ability of young people to overcome social and economic challenges
• Inclusion – Expanding access to opportunities regardless of background or location
• Skills – Promoting practical, employable, and life-enhancing competencies
• Empowerment – Enabling young people to become active contributors to national development

This moment calls for collective leadership and responsibility.

LAMDG calls on:
• Government institutions to prioritize and support youth-centered development initiatives
• International partners and development agencies to invest in scalable, impact-driven solutions
• Private sector leaders to play a proactive role in shaping the future workforce
• Civil society organizations to strengthen collaboration for broader national impact

The future of Liberia depends on what we do today for its young people.

LAMDG remains steadfast in its commitment to driving inclusive development, civic engagement, and long-term transformation.

Now is the time to act. Now is the time to R.I.S.E.
