Simeon Freeman, leader of the Movement for Progressive Change, is calling on Liberian opposition parties to strengthen cooperation by prioritising trust and national issues. He believes it is premature to set a joint candidate for the 2029 presidential election now, according to Voice of Liberia.

Simeon Freeman, political leader of the Movement for Progressive Change (MPC), is calling on Liberian opposition parties to prioritise trust and cooperation on national issues rather than deciding now on a joint candidate for the 2029 presidential election. He spoke on 29 September during an appearance on Voice of Liberia.

According to Simeon Freeman, opposition groups can retain their distinct political identities while cooperating on issues considered important to the Liberian people. He specified that the ongoing discussions are not currently intended to decide who will carry a presidential candidacy.
