The entrance of the Booker Washington Institute (BWI) in Kakata was the scene of cultural dance by masked dancers, massive jubilation and talent display by youth and women groups as the huge crowd awaited the arrival of the CPP Standard Bearer and entourage.
Cummings, accompanied by his wife Teresa, the Vice Standard Bearer Counsellor Charlyne Brumskine, and CPP Legislative Aspirants, led the parade from the BWI campus to the Nancy B. Doe sports pitch where the official ceremony was held.
Thousands of citizens were already awaiting the CPP Standard Bearer and entourage at the Nancy B. Doe sports pitch, as his convoy of dozens of vehicles drove to a stop. The CPP Executives were escorted under tight security by the Liberia National Police to the main podium mounted on a 20ft container truck which was beautifully decorated with party emblems.
Loud music could be heard from the four corners of the sports pitch, as citizens danced and chanted slogans for “change”.
