Not a member of any political party, but petitioned by 9 political parties (G-9 coalition) out of 18 registered political parties, to run as their candidate for the President of Liberia in the upcoming Presidential and General Elections.

Declaration of Intent
He has not yet declared his intentions to run due the fact that the Independent Elections Commission had not authorized campaign activities as yet.

Character

· A down to earth, no-nonsense and very outspoken. An advocate of social justice, equal opportunities, rule of law and democracy.
· His speeches and utterances are nationalistic and not tribalistic nor nepotistic or sectionalistic.
· During all the series of battles and civil wars, he remained in Liberia and never left the country except for the Accra Peace Talks.

Chances of Winning

His chances are 99.99% due to the fact that his outstanding record surpassed all of the other candidates, declared and non-declared. He seems to be the one candidate that makes the difference. Lookout for him very soon. The apparent reason for the position taken by The Coalition of Nine (9) Political parties.
