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.
The video, which has gone viral on social media platforms, portrays George Weah in a positive light, celebrating love, unity, and the achievements of his time in office.
The footage, showing the former President engaging warmly with various community members, has sparked an outpouring of support from his followers and fans.
However, Collins, a Stunt supporter of President Boakai, shared a dismissive post disregarding Weah’s video and attempting to undermine its significance.
In response to the post, Senator Dillon stated that if the Unity Party government fails to meet the expectations of the Liberian people during its six years in office, former President Weah will be re-elected in the 2029 Presidential Election.
Dillon’s comments highlight the ongoing political tensions in the country, as the 2029 election is shaping up to be a heated contest between the supporters of Weah’s former ruling coalition and the current Unity Party government.
While the Unity Party government continues to face criticism, particularly concerning its economic policies and governance, former President Weah remains a popular figure among many Liberians, especially in rural areas, where his leadership is celebrated for improving infrastructure and social services during his tenure.
