Mayson Vows Regime Change Liberian Observer
Former Ambassador to France, Dew Tuan-Wleh Mayson, has accepted his position of standard bearer for the DEAL Movement (The Democratic Alternative for Liberia). Mayson has vowed to defeat President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the September 2011 elections that will hopefully be peaceful and fair for the sake of the Liberian people.
As of now, the rhetoric and early campaigning of presidential contenders remains civil, but recent trends (specifically in Cote d'Ivoire) may lead one to believe that the political atmosphere in Liberia could change. Let's hope it doesn't, for the sake of the people.
President Johnson has made promises throught her presidency that schools and hospitals will be built throughout the rural areas of Liberia, and that electricity will be made available to more people. Some say that these promises are empty and they are intended only to capture votes in September. Ambassador Mason says, "We need new leadership of deeds and not words."
With that being said, I hope that the race to the presidency will only be fought with words and not deeds; deeds of destruction and deeds of violence. Liberia is still fragile and a key to the ongoing rebuilding process will be a free, fair, and peaceful election in September
