Liberty Party to hold national convention after years of internal turmoil

Monrovia – After nearly four years of bitter internal conflict that fractured its National Executive Committee, the Liberty Party (LP) has announced the long-awaited convening of its national convention.

Speaking at a press conference in Congo Town, LP’s Political Leader, Senator Nyonblee Karngar-Lawrence, revealed that 120 delegates from across Liberia will participate in the gathering. She described the event as a crucial step toward uniting the party’s fractured ranks and rebuilding trust among partisans.

“This convention marks the culmination of our reconciliation process—a pivotal moment in our journey toward unity, strength, and renewed purpose,” Senator Karngar-Lawrence said. She stressed that the forum will serve as a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and the collective shaping of the party’s future.

For nearly four years, the Liberty Party has been plagued by internal disputes, leading to a leadership crisis and deep divisions among its members. The upcoming convention is widely seen as an opportunity to settle outstanding disputes and reposition LP as a formidable force in Liberia’s political landscape.

“As we come together as one Liberty Party family, this is a time to celebrate progress, reaffirm our commitment, and chart a course for a stronger, more united party,” Karngar-Lawrence asserted.

The convention will address critical issues, including leadership restructuring, policy direction, and strategies for future political engagements. A special closing ceremony is slated for February 8, 2025, at the party’s newly acquired headquarters, which was previously occupied by the People’s Liberation Party.
