Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor and her National Patriotic Party’s voting bloc was key to the election of the George Weah-led government. President Weah last week announced the suspension of Superintendent Walker for her role in the leaked audio pending an investigation. She said Minister Tweah confronted her and claimed that Bong County had given the title “Dakpanah” to Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor. The leaked audio appears to have resurrected strains between President Weah and his vice president. In 2002, former President Charles Taylor appointed her as Mayor of Gbarnga in 2002 and she has been very close ties to Vice President Howard Taylor ever since.
