Monrovia, Liberia – September 14, 2025: The Unity Party (UP) has informed its partisans, supporters, and the general public that, in keeping with the Constitution of the Party and in defense of its values of accountability, and discipline, the National Executive Committee in a Special Sitting of September 13, 2025 reached decision to suspend several of its NEC’s members for delinquency in performing their party duties.
Their suspension comes as a result of the persistent failure of the affected NEC members to attend official meetings of the National Executive Committee and their continuous neglect in participating in Party activities, despite repeated reminders.
The Unity Party views these acts of noncompliance and absenteeism as a neglect and complacency of the trust reposed in them and a violation of the obligations of every NEC member to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the Party.
Consistent with articles 19 and 16 sub section 4 of the party’s Constitution, the affected NEC members are suspended for the period of one month, and with a fine of One Thousand United States Dollars (1,000.00) payable to the Unity Party account during the period of their suspension and receipt presented during the next sitting. According to the resolution, any member who fails to comply with this mandate will be expelled from the NEC.
Additionally, the Special Sitting also resolved to urge all delinquent due paying members to pay their outstanding dues within the period of one month, as the sustenance of the party depends largely on party dues and contributions from partisans. Failure on the part of any executive committee member to pay his or her dues during the above specified period will be met with serious consequences consistent with the Unity Party Constitution.
The Unity Party reassures its partisans and the public of its commitment to upholding discipline, unity, and collective responsibility in building a stronger institution that serves the interest of the Liberian people.
