MONROVIA — Former Montserrado County District No. 7 Representative Solomon C. George, a fiery political figure known for his blunt rhetoric, has died. He was 70.
Family sources confirmed to The Liberian Investigator that George died on Friday, February 27, 2026, reportedly from a heart attack.
George’s death closes the chapter on one of the more outspoken and polarizing figures in contemporary Liberian politics, a lawmaker whose career was defined by loyalty to the CDC during its rise to power, but who later emerged as a fierce critic of the party’s leadership.

A Combative Voice in Liberian Politics
George served as representative for Montserrado County District No. 7, one of the country’s most politically visible districts, where he built a reputation as an unapologetic grassroots politician and an aggressive defender of CDC interests during the party’s opposition years.
Often outspoken and controversial, George became widely known for his sharp public commentary on governance, corruption, and internal political rivalries.
In January 2026, during his 70th birthday celebration in Monrovia, George publicly accused former President George M. Weah of failing to exercise full control over his administration, alleging that key government decisions were effectively managed by former Finance Minister Samuel D. Tweah and former Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Nathaniel F. McGill.
“Weah was never in charge; he left the country in charge of Nathaniel McGill and Samuel D. Tweah,” George said at the time.
The remarks marked one of the most direct criticisms of Weah from within the broader CDC political family.
Allegations and Political Friction
During that same appearance, George leveled sweeping allegations against senior officials of the former government, accusing McGill of selling government jobs after the CDC assumed power in 2018.
He also criticized the handling of the US$25 million economic stimulus package introduced during the early years of the Weah administration, claiming that large portions of the funds were injected into the economy without adequate oversight.
According to George, the lack of accountability contributed to worsening economic hardship for ordinary Liberians.
