Opposition Unity Party has expressed its regret over a recent Facebook post in which its Campaign Spokesperson Mr. Mohammed Ali accused the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) of “receiving US$150,000.00” to compromise its neutral role in Tuesday’s Presidential runoff.
In a statement issued by the UP Secretary General Amos Tweh, the party said the allegation was at no time sanctioned by the Unity Party, its Standard-bearer, or Campaign Team.
“It should be noted that the UP does recognize and value the indispensable role ECOWAS has played in Liberia’s rebirth and renewal,” the statement said.
The statement explained that consistent with the UP’s Policy of strengthening Liberia’s participation in ECOWAS, it reassures ECOWAS, United Nations, and Liberia’s bilateral and multilateral Partners of its unflinching commitment to all protocols which Liberia has either acceded to, signed, or ratified.
“The UP therefore regrets Mr. Mohammed Ali’s assertion, which he is aware does not reflect that of the Unity Party,” the statement concluded.
