Monrovia, Liberia – April 9, 2026
The opposition political party, Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), has announced plans to hold a major press conference on April 13, 2026, at its temporary National Headquarters in Plumkor, Sinkor, Monrovia.
According to a statement issued by the party’s National Secretariat, the event is expected to bring together key figures within the CDC’s leadership structure, including members of the National Executive Committee, the CDC Legislative Caucus, former legislators, and representatives of its auxiliary bodies such as the Women’s and Youth Leagues. Zonal leaders and members of the National Coordinators Council have also been instructed to attend and be seated by 12:00 noon.
The CDC has further extended invitations to independent media institutions, civil society actors, religious leaders, and members of the broader democratic community to witness what it describes as an “important national engagement.”
At the center of the press conference will be the CDC’s response to the recent appointment of a new Chairperson of the National Elections Commission (NEC), a development the party suggests has significant implications for Liberia’s democratic process. The party also indicated that it will address a range of pressing national issues affecting democratic stability.
In a strongly worded statement, the CDC criticized key figures in the current administration, including Joseph Boakai, Jeremiah Koung, and Kofi Woods, accusing them of actions that allegedly threaten the country’s democratic foundations.
The party emphasized its commitment to safeguarding Liberia’s peace and democratic gains, warning against any developments that could undermine national stability or risk a return to past periods of conflict.
“The Coalition for Democratic Change… will never hesitate to defend and protect Liberia’s democracy,” the statement asserted, adding that the party remains “resolute, vigilant, and unwavering” in its stance.
The upcoming press conference is expected to draw significant national attention as political tensions continue to shape Liberia’s post-election landscape.
