MONROVIA, Liberia — Residents identifying themselves as concerned citizens of Montserrado County’s Electoral District 10 have warned of possible protests if the prolonged dispute over the district’s vacant legislative seat is not resolved in the coming months.
The group also threatened to disrupt President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s regular commute between Congo Town and Capitol Hill if authorities fail to address what they described as an unacceptable delay in resolving the matter.
The warning was delivered by a spokesperson identified as George, who accused former Representative Yekeh Kolubah of failing to deliver meaningful development during his tenure and alleged that district development resources were not properly managed. The allegations have not been independently established.
The group’s position followed a meeting between District 10 representatives and Chief Justice Yemie Quiqui Gbeisay. District leaders reportedly submitted a written request urging the judiciary to expedite proceedings in the case involving Kolubah.
The residents said they want the legal process concluded so that the district’s representation can be determined through the appropriate constitutional and electoral procedures.
They further warned that protests could continue if Kolubah is reinstated without allowing voters to determine who should represent them.
Kolubah was expelled from the House of Representatives following legislative action over remarks concerning a disputed area along the Liberia-Guinea border. His removal has since become the subject of a broader legal and political dispute.
The District 10 residents say they are seeking a timely resolution that would restore elected representation and provide clarity over the district’s political future.
