“Liberians Will Benefits From Their Votes,” President-Elect Joseph Boakai Assures

Monrovia – President-Elect Joseph Boakai has renewed the hope of many Liberians that their quest for new leadership will not be in vain. Amb Boakai, who served as Vice President to Ellen for 12 years, made the statement during his official NEC certification held in Monrovia on December 27, 2023.

“This event will be meaningless if Liberians cannot benefit from the dividends of democracy,” he said. “This must not be seen as a perfunctory undertaking. It must be felt in every village, town, and city. It must reverberate throughout our region and the world. Therefore, I call upon all Liberians to join me in building the country.”

The President-Elect also assured Liberians that his government will be different and Liberia will thread differently under his administration.

“We want to renew our commitment to our people. I pledge that Liberia will be a different country under my leadership. We will work tirelessly to ensure that the people benefit from their votes. Together, we will build Liberia,” Joseph Boakai.

Continuing his remark, he gave thanks to the outgoing president, George M. Weah, for conceding defeat before the final results were announced.

“We want to thank our political adversaries and particularly President Weah, who conceded even before the last vote was counted. He has also committed his government to a peaceful transition. We expect that the will of the People has prevailed, and we must all listen,” Boakai said.

Joseph N. Boakai and Jeremiah Koung will release their work plan for the years ahead in the coming weeks.

“Over the next few weeks and during my inauguration, my Vice President and I will lay out the road map for progress and development. We will fully articulate the pathway to peace, development, and progress,” he said. “On this occasion, we want to demonstrate our gratitude and renew our commitment to the Liberian People. By this certification, I pledge that Liberia will be different under my leadership.”
