Hon Musa Hassan Bility has promise to light up every home in the Southeast, the political leader of the Citizens Movement For Change (CMC) is taking Liberia to another level through accurate development.
Recently, the Citizens Movement for Change (CMC) launched its outreach programs to prepare for the 2029 elections. The party, accredited in March 2025, is led by Representative Musa Bility, who announced he will not seek reelection to the Legislature and is instead eyeing the presidency in 2029.
Outreach program details
The CMC’s strategy involves building political structures and engaging directly with citizens in the lead-up to the 2029 polls. Key aspects of their outreach include:
Website Launch: In July 2025, the CMC launched a website to track party members, register supporters, and provide services to engage with the Liberian public.
Youth and Women Engagement: The party is actively engaging with Liberian youth in education, agriculture, and vocational training. In Nimba County, thousands of women participated in an induction ceremony for the CMC Women’s Congress to endorse the party’s vision.
Focus on Development: The CMC emphasizes its commitment to addressing “bread-and-butter issues” and implementing tangible development projects for the people well before the 2029 elections.
Grassroots Outreach: The party intends to interact with people in both urban and rural communities to attract membership and demonstrate its value as a political alternative.
The political context
The CMC’s outreach efforts are part of its broader platform challenging the ruling Unity Party (UP). In August 2025, the CMC publicly rejected the UP chairman’s call for talks, accusing the ruling party of corruption and misrule.
CMC political leader Musa Bility has framed his party as an alternative to the established political forces in Liberia. By focusing on grassroots organizing and delivering on promises before the next election cycle, the CMC hopes to build trust with voters who are weary of traditional political manifestos.
