CDC Expels Deputy Speaker Fallah

Deputy Speaker Consult Lawyers as Bloc Pressures Him to Support Speaker’s Removal

MONROVIA – The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has expelled Deputy Speaker Thomas P. Fallah with immediate effect, citing disciplinary breaches and a need to maintain unity and constitutional order within its ranks.

Fallah’s expulsion was based on recommendations from the party’s National Disciplinary Committee.

The party’s National Executive Committee has also issued a seven-day ultimatum to suspended CDC lawmakers, warning them to return to the party or face expulsion.

At the heart of the party’s recent decisions is the ongoing leadership crisis in the House of Representatives. The CDC has reiterated its recognition of Fonati Koffa as the constitutional Speaker of the 55th Legislature, dismissing the election of Richard Koon by the Unity Party-aligned Majority Bloc as unconstitutional. The party urged Speaker Koffa not to resign, describing any such move as a blow to constitutional integrity. According to the former ruling party, its position aligns with the Supreme Court’s December 6, 2024 ruling.

The party also took aim at discussions surrounding the National Budget by the Majority Bloc, accusing them of attempting to plunder the nation’s resources. The CDC warned President Joseph Boakai against signing what it termed “treasonous” budget legislation, threatening to hold him and his allies accountable for undermining national stability and economic order.

Amid growing tensions, the CDC called for calm and respect for constitutional rights, stating its support for peaceful protests and demonstrations. The party urged the government to guarantee the safety of all citizens who choose to assemble peacefully, framing itself as a defender of democratic freedoms while decrying actions it sees as threats to Liberia’s unity.
