Yekeh Kolubah Vows to Resign Even if Supreme Court Rules in His Favor

Published: November 6, 2026

MONROVIA — Expelled lawmaker Yekeh Kolubah said Thursday he would give up his Montserrado County District 10 seat even if the Supreme Court overturns his expulsion. He said his case is meant to defend constitutional rights and due process, not to win back a place in the House of Representatives.

“If the court rules in my favor, I will come in this station and resign as representative. I don’t have interest in working under Joseph Boakai,” Kolubah said on Voice of Liberia.

“Whether I win the due process or lose the due process, I will resign as representative,” he said.

The House expelled Kolubah over statements he made about a disputed area on Liberia’s border with Guinea. He is challenging the expulsion before the Supreme Court, arguing that it violated his constitutional rights and that lawmakers did not follow the required procedures before disciplining him.

Kolubah said he would not withdraw the case despite having no interest in returning to the Legislature, because dropping it would undermine the principles he is defending.

“Let the law be respected. Let the Supreme Court know that the Supreme Court is for the law. The Supreme Court is not for Mr. Boakai,” he said.

He rejected suggestions that he reconcile with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai or abandon the case, saying the court must decide independently whether his expulsion was lawful and must resist political interference.

Kolubah said his constituents still support him and understand why he is challenging the House.

Asked about development in his district, he distinguished between a lawmaker’s own legislative pay and public money allocated for constituency projects. He said money designated for district development should be spent on its intended purpose, not treated as a lawmaker’s personal income.

Kolubah did not retract his statements on the border. He dared the authorities to arrest him if they believe he committed treason. He said no security agency had formally invited him for questioning, but that he was aware of suggestions he could face treason charges.

“If you got all your evidence that I’m involved with treason, arrest me. What are you waiting for?” he said.

He said the disputed territory belongs to Guinea.

“Where Guineans at, it’s for Guinea. I maintain that position,” he said.
