MONROVIA – The Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Mr. Alexander Cummings, stated that young people, constituting about 65 percent of the country’s population, will be the primary beneficiaries of the real change agenda of the CPP.
Cummings emphasized that it is incumbent upon young people to rally their friends, family members, and loved ones to turn out en masse on October 10th to vote and reject the ruling CDC and the Unity Party. These parties have long deprived young people of opportunities to explore their full potential.
He further asserted that the CPP Government will institute policies and measures to alleviate extreme hardships and provide young people with access to quality education, vocational schools, and improved healthcare services nationwide.
The CPP Standard Bearer gave this assurance during a special program held in Paynesville on August 12, 2023, where a Montserrado County auxiliary, the ABC Strategic Alliance For Real Change 2023, reaffirmed its support for his Presidential bid.
Established in 2020, the ABC Strategic Alliance for Real Change 2023 serves as an umbrella organization comprising 100 allies, including women’s, teacher, and student groups, petty traders, motorcyclists, and other professional and interest groups, all in support of Cummings’ Presidential bid on October 10th.
Cummings expressed gratitude to the group for its continuous support and loyalty to his Presidential bid, reassuring young people that a CPP Government will not disappoint them in their quest for real change to improve the lives of the Liberian people.
In his remarks, ABC Strategic Alliance For Real Change National Chairman, Rosllshawn Jarbar, challenged individuals to reflect on and evaluate their personal living conditions, questioning whether they are satisfied with their current status.
Jarbar revealed that a special survey conducted by him on the living conditions and earning power of young people showed that over 35 percent are in deplorable states, earning less than L$300 per week. He reassured that the ABC Strategic Alliance will rally and mobilize young people throughout the 17 districts of Montserrado County in support of the Collaborating Political Parties’ agenda for change aimed at improving the lives of the Liberian people.
The program was attended by a cross-section of citizens from various districts of Montserrado County, including the leadership of a local teachers association in Paynesville, as well as CPP Representative Aspirant in District #5. Cummings was accompanied to the program by senior CPP stalwarts, including Dr. Toga G. McIntosh.
