Monrovia – The ruling Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has reportedly initiated discussions with Benoni Urey, leader of the All Liberian Party (ALP), in an effort to secure his endorsement for the re-election campaign of incumbent President George Weah. According to ALP insiders, the meeting, held on Tuesday, July 18, concluded without a resolution, prompting the rescheduling of further discussions. Urey and representatives of President Weah failed to reach a consensus on potential financial benefits associated with Urey’s support. Moreover, Urey has requested a meeting with President Weah at his own residence, citing privacy concerns. Urey’s decision to withdraw support from Boakai was triggered by Boakai’s choice of running mate, Senator Jeremiah Koung.
