The Liberian envoy says he believes there are many other qualified Liberians who ready to replace him in the diplomatic mission. The Liberian Ambassador Plenipotentiary, who has his eyes on becoming running mate to Vice President Joseph NyumahBoakai in 2017, has however declined to say whether his intention to resign is in connection with the impending elections.

Ambassador Sulunteh is current Senior National Vice Chairman for President Sirleaf’s ruling Unity Party. He has expressed willingness to work with any member of the party, and  praised Vice President Joseph Boakai, describing him as a good Vice President, who could make a very good President for Liberia.

He maintained that Vice President Boakai has worked tremendously in serving the country.
