MONROVIA – A group of aggrieved supporters of the All-Liberian Coalition Party (ALCOP) staged a protest outside the National Disaster Management Agency on Thursday, voicing their frustrations over party Chairman Ansu Dolley’s perceived failure to leverage his influence to secure government positions for party partisans.
The demonstrators gathered early in the morning, holding banners and chanting slogans that highlighted their dissatisfaction with the current leadership.
They accused Dolley of neglecting the needs of loyal supporters, who expect the party’s prominence to translate into job opportunities within the government. Many protesters carried signs reading “We Deserve Better” and “Bring Jobs Home,” as they demanded accountability from their party leaders.
“We worked hard to support the All-Liberian Coalition Party and help elect our new Chairman, now, we ask for the same commitment in return. It’s time for Chairman Dolley to advocate for us and ensure that we have our fair share of opportunities in government positions,” one protester, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed.
The protest unfolded peacefully, with participants maintaining a respectful distance from the agency’s entrance. However, tensions flared as the day progressed, and some protesters expressed concern over the lack of visible support from the party leadership.
“We feel abandoned,” said another demonstrator. “We were promised that our voices would be heard, but all we see is a lack of action. It’s time for Chairman Dolley to step up or step down.”
The growing discontent within the party regarding Dolley’s leadership. The calls for her to step down as chairman likely stem from concerns about her ability to lead effectively, as well as allegations of corruption and other issues.
Effective leadership is crucial for maintaining party unity and public trust, and when members start to question leadership, it can lead to significant challenges for the party.
If Dolley is indeed facing serious criticisms, it might be worth watching how this situation develops — whether she addresses these concerns, whether there are internal party discussions or votes regarding her position, and what impact this might have on the party’s overall strategy and cohesion.
Political analysts suggest that this protest could be a critical moment for the All-Liberian Coalition Party, testing its unity and commitment to its base.
The coming days will likely reveal how the party leadership will respond to these calls for change and whether it can restore the confidence of its supporters.
The situation remains dynamic, and many in the political sphere are watching closely to see how it will unfold.
