Monrovia- The National Patriotic Party (NPP) is facing an internal leadership crisis, which has led to concern among its partisans about potential de-certification by the National Elections Commission (NEC).

George Mulbah, which revolves around leadership legitimacy, factionalism, and adherence to the party’s constitution, has jeopardized and prevented the institution holding its seventh biennial convention to resolve the leadership crisis. Presenting the petition, the spokesperson, Daoda V. Metzger, suggested that to reach a common ground, the National Elections Commission (NEC) should convene a hearing involving former Vice President Taylor and Atty. Mulbah to derive a consensus on the setting up of a convention committee to plan and conduct the long overdue 7th Biennial convention of the party.
