IPNEWS: Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon, a prominent member of the ruling Unity Party government has predicted that former President George Weah is poised of being re-elected come 2029 general and Presidential election, despite recent criticisms.
Senator Dillon’s assertion comes in response to a post by one Charles Collins, a Stunt supporter of President Joseph Boakai, who made a controversial remark regarding a trending video showcasing former President Weah’s compassion and popularity.
