Monrovia, Liberia – The Secretary General of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), Jefferson Tamba Koijee, has issued a strongly worded statement targeting Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah, accusing him of betraying the party’s struggle and aligning with political opponents.
Speaking in response to remarks made on the OK Morning Rush radio show, Koijee criticized Fallah’s recent posture, claiming the lawmaker has abandoned the ideals he once supported. He further alleged that Fallah is now working in favor of President Joseph Boakai and the ruling establishment.
Koijee framed the unfolding political tension as part of a broader struggle between what he described as the “Unity Party system” and the grassroots-based CDC movement. He insisted that despite internal criticisms and external pressure, the CDC remains resilient and deeply rooted among ordinary Liberians.
Drawing a comparison to international politics, Koijee referenced developments in Hungary, where long-time leader Viktor Orbán was recently voted out after years in power. He pointed to the rise of Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party as evidence that political change is ultimately determined by the will of the people, not elite alliances.
Koijee argued that Liberia would witness a similar democratic outcome in the 2029 general elections. According to him, no external influence or political maneuvering would be able to override the decision of the electorate once expressed through the ballot.
The CDC Secretary General also defended former President George Weah, describing him as a central figure in the party’s identity and continued relevance. He rejected suggestions that Weah should step away from politics, asserting that the former president remains a symbol of hope and resilience for many supporters.
Koijee dismissed claims that the CDC is weakened or divided, instead portraying the party as a “living movement” preparing for a political comeback. He warned critics against underestimating its support base, emphasizing that popular sentiment cannot be erased by public commentary or speculation.
The statement concluded with a broader message to political actors, stressing that Liberians are closely observing developments and will ultimately determine the country’s direction. Koijee maintained that when the time comes, the voice of the people will be decisive and unquestionable.
