By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Front Page Africa
Thirteen district coordinators of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) in Bong County have declared a vote of no confidence in the party’s local chairperson, Wayfa F. Ciapha. They accuse her of prolonged absence, neglect of members’ welfare and a lack of transparency in managing party assets, according to Front Page Africa.
Thirteen district coordinators of the National Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberia’s opposition party, have adopted a vote of no confidence in Wayfa F. Ciapha, chairperson of the party’s branch in Bong County. They accuse her in particular of being absent from the party’s active leadership, failing to respond to the concerns of grassroots members and lacking transparency in the management of the branch’s property and assets, reports Front Page Africa.
The 13 officials, who represent the NPP’s structures in the districts of Bong, said they took their decision after consultations on the branch’s administrative and organisational difficulties. They said they wanted to restore internal democracy, strengthen accountability and preserve the party’s constitutional order, rather than challenge the national leadership.
The coordinators accuse Ciapha of not regularly participating in party activities since 2023 and of having, in their view, weakened exchanges between the county leadership, district officials and members. Their move comes as the NPP prepares for its national convention in December 2026 and begins positioning itself for the 2029 general and presidential elections, according to Front Page Africa.
