As He Touched Down In US With Pres. Boakai
Deputy Speaker Thomas P. Fallah is in the United States, as part of the Liberian Government delegation to the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
His arrival, however, comes under the shadow of intensifying rumors of a looming plot to unseat him as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The timing has not gone unnoticed. Political observers say Fallah’s trip with the President may be more than just diplomatic duty; it could be a calculated show of strength amid the mounting campaign to edge him out of one of the country’s most powerful legislative posts.
The situation has drawn sharp comparisons to the infamous Koffa-Boakai fallout, when former Deputy Speaker J. Fonati Koffa was unceremoniously pushed aside in what many saw as a Boakai-backed maneuver. With Fallah now under similar pressure, whispers of history repeating itself are growing louder within the Capitol.
From New York, Fallah struck a tone of loyalty and duty, declaring, “Today, I arrived in the United States to attend the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. I am proud to travel with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., and our high-level delegation, representing Liberia on the global stage.”
He highlighted issues of peace, climate change, youth empowerment, and sustainable development, while insisting that Liberia’s voice must be heard in global decision-making.
Yet back home, the real battle is political survival. The big question remains whether his presence in Boakai’s inner circle at the UNGA shield him from the axe or will it only delay the inevitable?
For now, all eyes are on Capitol Hill, where alliances are shifting fast, and the Deputy Speakership hangs by a thread.
