Monrovia – As the 2023 General and Presidential Election draws closer, many political pundits have said that there is no upright winner in the first round of the Presidential election but the National Youth League of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) said that President George Weah’s first-round victory is a must based on his many deliverables during the first six years.

“CDC is taking nothing less than a first-round victory in the coming 2023 elections,” Emmanuel Mulbah Johnson, the new Youth Chairman who succeeded Mayor Jefferson Koijee asserted.
The new CDC Youth Chairman made the declaration during the program marking the unveiling of the new leadership at the intellectual center in the Township of West Point over the weekend.
He said, “Voter Perception Survey conducted by development partners with opinion polls shows a massive first-round victory. We want to declare today that the CDC has won these elections and will take nothing less than a first-round victory in 2023.”
According to Chairman Johnson, the Liberian people are resolved to sustaining what he termed as unprecedented development and leadership exhibited by the Weah-led administration.
“We will only be going to the ballot in October for the formality. We can assure you there will be no second round. So, prepare your inauguration suit for January 2024,” Johnson said.

The CDC Youth Chairman at the event informed the public that the Youth League in a not too-distant future will be releasing the names of people they term as internal traitors.
According to the CDC Youth League, some individuals are appointed by the President and are working with the opposition to undermine CDC-led the government.
“To all government officials who are constantly undermining the system, very soon the Youth League will be asking you to step aside or you will be made to step aside,” Johnson stressed.
“In the coming months, the Youth League will be all out advocating for decent conditions for our people at various ministries, agencies, commissions, and concession areas. We will be standing with the marginalized and affected masses of our people,” Chairman Johnson added.
