By: Aaron B. Nemah
Former Unity Party Representative candidate Elvis T. Dweh has officially announced his intention to contest the Electoral District #2 legislative seat in River Gee County in 2029.
The declaration marks Dweh’s return to electoral politics three years after his 2023 bid on the Unity Party ticket. He is a native of Chedepo Administrative District.
Dweh said his decision stems from a renewed commitment to bring effective representation and development to District 2.
“We need educated and capable leadership at the Capitol Building,” Dweh stated. “We need leaders who can represent the interests of our people, influence national policy, and push for meaningful development in our district.”
Dweh is an environmental professional with a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science from Cuttington University.
He currently serves as President of the Engineers Workers Association of Liberia, where he advocates for engineering professionals and supports national development initiatives.
Outlining his priorities, Dweh pledged that if elected he will focus on improving quality of education and school infrastructure; expanding road and infrastructure development across the district; empowering youth through skills training and job creation; strengthening access to healthcare and other essential social services; and promoting inclusive and sustainable development in all communities.
He called on residents of Chedepo and the wider District 2 to unite behind his candidacy, stressing that unity will be key to electing a representative who can deliver tangible results.
District 2 is currently represented by Hon. Isaac BoyeCholoplayWuo of the Coalition for Democratic Change – CDC, who is widely expected to seek re-election in 2029.
With Dweh’s early declaration, the contest for the District 2 seat is already gaining attention. Political observers say the race could become one of the most competitive in River Gee County.
As activities ahead of 2029 gradually pick up, residents say they will be watching closely as more aspirants emerge and present their policy proposals to voters.
