MONROVIA –In a rallying call to the youth of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), Mr. Alexander Benedict Cummings, ANC’s political leader, emphasized the vital role that young people must play in reshaping Liberia’s political landscape as the nation moves towards 2029, when Liberia will head to another Presidential Election.
Speaking at the National Youth Retreat of party members and supporters, Cummings urged the youth to move beyond mere discussions and take proactive steps towards engaging with their communities. He believes that this engagement is essential for the ANC to secure state power in the upcoming elections.
“The time for talking is over,” Cummings declared. “We need action. Our youth must lead the charge in connecting with the people of Liberia, understanding their needs, and advocating for change that will benefit everyone.”
The ANC, which has positioned itself as a progressive force in Liberian politics, is looking to mobilize its youthful members to gain a competitive edge in the elections. Cummings highlighted the importance of grassroots involvement, encouraging young party members to initiate dialogues within their communities and address pressing social issues.
“Change will not come from the top down; it will come from the bottom up,” Cummings stated. “As the future leaders of our country, you must take the initiative to inspire others and build a movement that resonates with the hopes and aspirations of the Liberian people.”
The call to action comes at a pivotal moment as Liberia prepares for a significant electoral cycle. With rising expectations for youth involvement in governance and decision-making processes, the ANC aims to harness the energy and creativity of its young members to foster a new political culture.
As the party gears up for the electoral battle ahead, Cummings’ message serves as a reminder of the potential impact that engaged and motivated youth can have in shaping the future of Liberia.
The ANC is hopeful that with a concerted effort, it can emerge as a formidable contender in the 2029 elections.
As the youth of the ANC rally around this vision, the eyes of Liberia will be on them to see how they will lead the charge for change in the coming years.
