Monrovia, Liberia; July 4, 2025 – The Opposition Reformers National Congress (RNC) advocates for inter-party dialogue as the most effective means to promote democracy.
Speaking to the New Dawn on Wednesday, RNC National Chairman, Daniel B.F. Deshield lamented that the party is being sidelined in the quest to build a prosperous Liberia, despite its support to the Unity Party-led government.
“To the Unity Party in particular, the RNC says we value this opportunity given our [nation] to serve on the UN Security Council from 2026 to 2027; it is a testament to our nation’s growing influence and respect dialogue and mutual respect in strengthening our democracy”, he said.
He stressed the need for a rebuilding process of the nation, which he says should not rely solely on a single party system or leadership, but also embrace Inter-Party dialogue for successful leadership.
“Despite our party endorsing the Boakai-Koung leadership, we as a party have not been given the opportunity to participate in the rebuilding process of our country. But we reaffirm our commitment to this cause and call upon the Unity Party Administration to allow Inter-Party dialogue as best way forward.
He frowned at economic problems affecting Liberians and called on the government to address needs of the people.
“We call upon the Unity Party government to urgently prioritize the bread and butter issues that affect the daily lives of our citizens”, Chairman Deshield said.
For his part, the Political Leader of the Reformer National Congress (RNC), Alexander N. Kollie, emphasized the need for a practical solution to solving the nation’s problems.
He called for robust collaboration and inter-party dialogue to strengthen democracy and improve the livelihoods of the people.
“To our allies in the Rescue Mission, your partnership has been very valuable to us, but we need to cement it further. Together, we have formed a robust coalition united by our commitment to the common good of our people, Kollie added.
He believes that inter-party collaboration will ensure good governance and improve the living conditions of the people. Editing by Jonathan Browne
