“My concern is simple: those at the helm of power within the CDC have not being truthful to Weah. They will not deliver on the promises they are making,” –Fallah.
Mr. George Weah coming back to the presidency has remained entangled with controversies.
Of recent, contrasting statements have emerged, but Weah himself has remained quiet as to where will his political future go.
Until he speaks out, Deputy Speaker of the 55th Legislature, Thomas P. Fallah, has stirred fresh political debate after declaring that the former president will not contest the 2029 presidential election.
A statement likely to deepen concerns over growing divisions within the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
Fallah’s political statement has pointed to widening cracks inside the CDC ahead of 2029.
While on OK FM in Monrovia on Monday, April 13, Fallah described his remarks as “sincere, and respectful advice to Weah.
He added: “I have urged him to withdraw from frontline politics, and devote more time to his family. I strongly believe that my chief, former President George Weah, will not contest the 2029 elections. Instead, he should take time to rest and be with his family.”
Fallah’s comments are being interpreted by many political observers as one of the clearest public signs yet of uncertainty within the CDC over its future leadership direction.
The remarks come amid ongoing national conversations over the opposition’s readiness to reorganize following its loss of state power.
Fallah, long regarded as one of the CDC’s most influential political figures, went beyond advising Weah to stay out of the race.
He openly criticized the Party’s current leadership structure.
He accused senior officials of misleading Mr. Weah while they neglected the interests of the Party’s traditional grassroots support base.
Fallah claimed that the present leadership no longer reflects the aspirations of ordinary partisans, especially “junior comrades,” whose loyalty and sacrifices helped built the CDC into a formidable political movement.
“My concern is simple: those currently at the helm of power within the CDC have not being truthful to Weah. They will not deliver on the promises they are making.”
His statement has fueled speculation that senior opposition figures are beginning to question the political viability of another Weah candidacy, while also exposing deeper struggles over succession, trust and control of the Party machinery.
CDCians believe the latest remarks could further weaken the Party’s internal cohesion at a time when the opposition is expected to rebuild and reposition itself for the next electoral cycle.
Instead of projecting unity, the Party now appears increasingly confronted by public dissent from some of its most prominent former insiders.
During the OK FM radio appearance, Fallah also turned attention to the politically sensitive matter involving Yekeh Kolubah. He revealed plans to push for his suspension or possible expulsion over controversial remarks linked to the Liberia–Guinea border dispute.
The matter is already under legislative review, with a House Committee expected to present its findings before the end of the Legislature’s ongoing 10-day special sitting.
