Liberia: Why Cummings Did Not Name His Running Mate in GantaGANTA – The Liberian public had high expectations of learning who the running mate would be for the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), especially given that the CPP had recently gathered in Ganta, Nimba County for its convention. However, the constitution of Alexander Cummings’ Alternative National Congress (ANC) prohibits the announcement of a running mate from outside the county of origin of the candidate. Prior to the convention, it had been rumored that Mr. Cummings had settled on Cllr. “Unless we change the politics by changing the political leadership, we are stuck in this terrible state of underdevelopment and misery,” he said. The ANC 5th National Convention was attended by over 250 delegates from the 15 political sub-divisions of Liberia, as well as delegates from the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world.
