A group calling itself the Concern Partisans of the All Liberian Coalition Party is recommending the setting up of a structural reform committee of the party be set up to review including but not limited to the constitution of ALCOP, among other things.
ALCOP is the party founded by veteran Liberian politician, Alhaji G.V. Kromah.
The group led by the Junior brother of the founding father of ALCOP, Mohamed Kromah stressed the need for a convention time frame be made known to all partisans and other interest groups.
Addressing a press conference in Monrovia recently, Mr. Kromah added that there is need for a committee set up for out reaching to the party oldest, older and old members of the party especially mothers, fathers and youths and others for a vibrant progression of victory come 2023.
According to him, ALCOP should not be to be seen as a particular ethnic party but as a party of the Liberian people, own by the Liberian people and for the Liberian people including the foreign brothers and sisters born and bred in Liberia like the Fulani and others with dual citizenship.
On the political dialogue, the Concern Partisans of ALCOP proposed that their political leaders should be resilient living by their discussions with other interest groups involved in fulfilling promises of having seeking the interest of all inclusion of all 16 tribal groups into the party.
“We have also realized that ALCOP has now become a rescue political party for many political returnees from other political parties back to their mother’s party,” he said; adding: “This is highly commendable but should be observed with cautiousness as per their motives.”
“Let’s not our political leader and his deputies forget that as leaders, they must use their intellect, their will power and their reasoning to invent what is beneficial so as to motivate other ethnic groups to join ALCOP.”
Mr. Kromah explained that this can be done by bringing together everyone into the arena of politics while preventing what is harmful with the slogan by some unscrupulous characters as being a Mandingo party and the marginalization of other ethnic groups behind closed doors
“In this way,” he went on, “we will build a civilization in which we find peace so that future generations because posterity can inherit the good works and virtues cultivated by the hearts and minds of ALCOP leadership.”
According to him, ALCOP should not allow any individual or group of individuals joining the party to manipulate or mesmerize her executives in believing to joining a particular political party now or later in 2023, that will be a great mistake.”
“If our political leader and executives are only planning for second or third place and not the first so as to give their support to any of the two contestants in the second rounds of voting for political positions, they too are in error as ALCOP is not a party to supplement any other political party election success or failure.”
Mr. Kromah has called for the reduction of tension between the concept of ALCOP and the partisans, where in the political borders of leadership and the cultural boundaries of the people.
He claimed that this is the case of the vast majority of the so called political elites and the masses.
“Let us embrace diversity of views so that ALCOP can be what it is,” he added.
