The two will face President George Manneh Weah and his VP, Jewel Howard Taylor at the polls on October 10. Boakai has a few things going for him - Weah's governance record, for one. Having boasted a strong legislative plurality at the onset, Weah's record of disinvestment, corruption and mismanagement returned humiliating losses in his electoral strongholds.

The much anticipated news of the naming of the running mate of the Unity Party (UP) political leader, Joseph N. Boakai for the upcoming October 10, 2023 general and presidential elections finally became a reality when Nimba County Senator Jeremiah K. Koung was named as his running mate. He said the pick of the Nimba County Senator is intended to unite the younger generation, which continued to be marginalized by a government that cares about itself and not the emerging generation. JNB thanked Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillion for being the ‘lone voice’ of the opposition at the Legislature in flying the opposition flag. In December 2021, the United States Department of Treasury sanctioned Nimba County Senator Prince Y. Johnson for what they term his involvement in corruption activities in Liberia. Observers view Costa’s comments as another show of displeasure to see a Koung pick over the rest of them that ‘ cook the food, yet cannot eat it’.

Ambassador to Liberia, Michael McCarthy, has told the BBC Focus on Africa that he hopes his recent statement on the shortcomings of accountability in Liberia and the vivid neglect of rural Liberians would encourage the population to make a strong decision against corruption in the country.

Tiawan Gongloe has described as scandalous the appropriation of hefty salaries by Liberian Legislature while the people they represent live in abject poverty. Gongloe said it is shameful that the annual salaries of the heads of the Liberian Legislature – the Speaker and President Pro Tempore are by far higher than their United States counterparts.

There will be so much Liberian dollars on the market chasing the US dollars, which mean the exchange rate will be high. Because people want Liberian dollars to import good and they might increase the price.
