Monrovia, Liberia— Unconfirmed reports circulating online Saturday claim that George G. Solo, former National Chairman of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), has died.
As of 10:15 AM GMT, no official statement has been issued by Solo’s family, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the Office of the President regarding the reports. The cause and circumstances surrounding the alleged death remain unknown.
Who Was George G. Solo?
George G. Solo was a prominent Liberian political figure who served as National Chairman of the CDC until August 3, 2014, when he was removed from the position in a move described as controversial.
Following his ouster, Solo became an outspoken critic of the CDC and former President George Weah. In a major political shift, President Joseph Boakai nominated him in 2025 to serve as Liberia’s Ambassador to Italy.
What We Know Right Now:
1. Status: Death is UNCONFIRMED. No family confirmation, no government statement, no hospital report.
2. Source: Claims originated from online social media posts late Friday night. Our paper cannot independently verify the reports.
3. Official Silence: Solo’s parents and immediate family have not released information on his status or any incident leading to the reports.
Context:
Solo’s political career spanned both the CDC’s rise to power and its transition to opposition. His 2025 ambassadorial nomination by President Boakai was viewed as a significant realignment in Liberian politics.
This is a developing story. This paper will update as official confirmation becomes available from family members, the Liberian government, or credible medical authorities.
Editor’s Note: Out of respect for the family and to prevent misinformation, readers are urged to await official confirmation before drawing conclusions.
