One of the senatorial aspirants in Bong County for the 2020 special senatorial election Deputy Speaker Prince K. Moye, has described the pending election as a ‘referendum’ for the county.
He says the senatorial race will be a referendum that will divide or unite Bong by selecting a rhetorical leader or a practical leader with tangible development.
According to him, the race will see skimmers leaving the stage and bringing on board leaders who have built their political career along the way.
Representative Moye who represents Bong County District # 2 noted that only those who want to see people with ‘mutilated’ political record, jumping from party to party (leaving one political party to another ) and telling lies to the county for personal gain will vote in that direction.
He maintained that the 2020 mid-term race will give a face to the county or see it as the boiling point of politics in Liberia.
He indicated that it is now time the electorates critique the two names in the county.
Deputy Speaker Prince K. Moye and incumbent Senator Henry Yallah are the two names that have so far surfaced for the Bong County 2020 mid-term senatorial election.
Deputy Speaker Moye was speaking over the weekend with journalists in Tumutu, Salala District, Lower Bong County after a meeting with Muslim leaders from across the district, where he asked Muslims to pray for him as he moves through the last seven percent of his consultation in the county.
Rep. Moye, who is currently carrying on consultation with citizens, says at the conclusion of the exercise, he will brief Muslims and the entire county on outcome of discussions held.
Liberia is gearing up for mid-term senatorial election next year and many incumbent lawmakers both in the Senate and the House, are eyeing the race, including aspirants outside of government.
