Janga Augustus Kowo, national chairman of the Congress for Democratic Change, says Liberian opposition parties have reached no agreement on an electoral alliance or joint candidate for 2029. Discussions are currently focused on national issues, according to a statement reported by The New Dawn Liberia.

The five opposition parties engaged in political discussions in Liberia have reached no agreement on a possible electoral alliance, merger or joint candidate for the 2029 presidential election. The national chairman of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), Janga Augustus Kowo, said this on 1 October on Voice of Liberia.

Janga Augustus Kowo said discussions are currently focused on national issues affecting Liberians and government accountability, before any possible electoral agreement. The parties are therefore seeking to build cooperation around these national issues.
