During the 2005 presidential elections, the greed and lust for political power were exhibited amongst political parties ascending the Unity Party to power. At the time, it was 11 proposed political parties, out of which five parties survived the strangulation of the Emmet Harman's Election Commission. It was the Liberian Action Party (LAP), Liberian Unification Party (LUP) Unity Party (UP), United People's Party (UPP), and National Democratic Party of Liberia (NDPL). But what’s even more surprising is that none of the opposition parties had the guts to challenge the violations through the court. The truth is that ordinary Liberians have not benefited from the opposition political parties since the introduction of the multi-party system in the country.
