The team dubbed Team Cummings 2023 comprises dozens of veteran politicians, mostly former government officials, experienced campaign strategies, and prominent Liberians of diverse professions, political and religious backgrounds.

“I am honored to name the initial Team Cummings 2023 of forty-four man which includes members of the disabled community and all Liberians. Today, we stand on that historic truth to name the first few of our Real Change Team. These Liberians reflect not just a rich pool of talents but also the rich diversity that is Liberia. Our hope is that Liberians everywhere will see themselves in this Team’’ he noted.

“One of the Real Changes we seek is that we will no longer only represent some Liberians because in united Liberia we seek, no one must be left out or left behind. Liberia belongs to all Liberians. Our differences in religion, gender, tribe and political parties ought not to divide but unite us in building a better, prosperous and just Liberia’’ Mr. Cummings noted.

Mr. Cummings also used the occasion to also reassure Liberians that he will work with everyone for real change beyond tribes, religion, gender and political parties, adding that Truly, Liberia deserves better and Liberians deserve better.

Meanwhile, after announcing the campaign team, Amb. Lewis Brown a member of the team in an acceptance address on behalf of the team expressed excitement and appreciation to Mr. Cummings for appointing them on his initial campaign team.

‘’This is a happy day. Every journey begins with a first step. Mr. incoming President, we take the challenge you have given to us to rescue our country from the hands of a leader who is bagging to offload the responsibility of the president of the republic. Today, too many are ready, too many are disappointed because the president does not appear to be connected to the everyday condition of the hardship of our people. We will end all of this in 2023’’ he noted.

Mr. Brown noted that enough is enough, therefore, it’s time to embrace real change and work with Mr. Cummings to change the country that President Weah’s government had made a laughing stock in the international and diplomatic space.
