By Selma Lomax, [email protected]Historically, Bong County has always been the stronghold of Howard-Taylor’s National Patriotic Party (NPP), since the days of former Liberian President Charles Taylor. “The vice president has been tested and proven politically in the body politics of the country. The CDC has lost three successive by-elections in Bong County since President Weah was elected in 2017 – 2018, 2020 and 2021 – seemingly because of internal fight within the CDC Bong Chapter. Bong County has a history of always queuing behind whoever they think represents their best interest. It is perhaps this sentiment that Howard-Taylor hoped to stoke in during the interactive session with a group of central region political leaders under the banner “Central Region for Weah-Taylor”.
