People’s Power Movement announces global, national leadership after registration

Published: February 13, 2026

MONROVIA — The People’s Power Movement (PPM), a political initiative launched by Martin K. N. Kollie, has unveiled its Global and National leadership structures following its formal registration as a political movement in Liberia.

In a statement issued Feb. 10, 2026, the movement said its Central Executive Committee approved the appointments after internal consultations aimed at consolidating its organizational base both domestically and within the Liberian Diaspora.

Global Structure

PPM named Abraham Doedeh, based in the United States, as global chairman. Abigail M. Dour was appointed vice chair for administration, and Henry Garneo as vice chair for international affairs. Joseph Barbour will serve as vice chair for fiscal affairs, while Abu B. Foray was named vice chair for operations.

Additional Diaspora appointments include Francis Dadzie as vice chair for resource mobilization in Canada, Samuel S. Sakama as vice chair for legal affairs in Australia, and Johanchal Wrobeh as secretary general in Canada. Representatives were also designated in Germany, Turkey, China, France and Sweden.

The movement said the global structure is intended to strengthen coordination with Liberians abroad and support resource mobilization and advocacy.

National Leadership

Domestically, PPM announced several leadership appointments. Zinnah M. Benson was named vice chair for planning and projects, Dianun S. Somah as vice chair for gender affairs, and John Gabriel as deputy secretary for legal affairs.

Other appointees include Fatimazahra Aboubacar Maiga as deputy secretary for program, Ramsay T. Sumanie as vice chair for training and education, and S. Rakitic P. Dennis Sr. as vice chair for mobilization.

According to the statement, the national team is expected to coordinate outreach, political education and organizational development across the country.

Background

Kollie, a former student leader at the University of Liberia, has been active in civic advocacy and philanthropic initiatives through the Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation, including scholarship support for underprivileged students.

In recent years, he has publicly criticized governance practices and signaled interest in pursuing legislative office. The formation of PPM appears to formalize his political platform.

The movement claims that more than 9,000 individuals have registered through its online membership system, though the figure was not independently verified.

Political Landscape

PPM enters an increasingly competitive political environment, as new movements and established parties position themselves ahead of future electoral cycles.

Political analysts note that emerging groups often face the challenge of translating online engagement and Diaspora networks into sustained grassroots organization within Liberia’s counties.

By announcing both global and national leadership structures simultaneously, PPM appears to be adopting a dual strategy that leverages Diaspora engagement while building a domestic political footprint.

The movement said additional appointments will follow as it expands its organizational framework.
