The standard bearer of the Vision for Liberia Transformation Party (VOLT) has officially congratulated President-elect Joseph Nyumah Boakai, stating that he believes in the latter’s ability to deliver toward prosperity and opportunities.
In an exclusive telephone conversation with this paper Tuesday, 21 November 2023, Dr. Whapoe said with Amb. Boakai emerging as the winner of the presidential run-off election, he doesn’t think that VOLT has lost.
Dr. Whapoe described Amb. Boakai as a father who has similar political manifestos which focused on poverty alleviation, job creation, and above all, agriculture.
“I want to congratulate my father Amb. Joseph Nyumah Boakai for winning the presidency. To admit, I have explicit confidence in his abilities to transform, deliver and rescue Liberia,” said Dr. Whapoe.
“VOLT has lost but with Amb. Boakai winning the Presidency, we have won because he will deliver all that the Liberian people need,” Dr. Whapoe stated.
The opposition politician said he believes that road connectivity, health and education, particularly youth development, will be paramount to his leadership.
Dr. Whapoe at the same time urged Amb. Boakai to ensure that reconciliation is key on his agenda, adding that Liberia is divided currently across political lines.

“We are calling on Amb. Boakai to ensure that he reconciles Liberia. To be sincere, Amb. Boakai is a man of wisdom and I believe that he can do that,” said Whapoe.
With the people he has close to him and as a veteran in Governance, Whapoe believes that Boakai will deliver for Liberia, particularly because he experienced in governance.
Dr. Whapoe explained that Amb. Boakai worked as vice president of Liberia for twelve years and headed several other positions in governments.
With the experience he gained from those years of work, Whapoe thinks Boakai will make Liberia great.
