Gbarnga, BONG COUNTY – More than two million voters scattered across Liberia’s 15 counties will in October elect a new president. In Nimba County, Senator Prince Yormie Johnson in 2017 played a key role in the victory of the CDC in the county. The president, in the 2017 presidential election, had an abysmal showing in the county, which as at that time was indisputably a Unity Party enclave. The defeat was resounding, as the then Bong County senator and vice standard bearer to CDC’s Weah, Jewel Howard-Taylor, held sway and had campaigned vigorously. The CDC took advantage of the division in the Unity Party which suffered a severe fracture following the executives of the Unity Party Bong Chapter’s mismanagement of the internal crisis.
