Congo Town, Monrovia – The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has announced the formation of a 23-member committee to oversee the construction of a new party headquarters, following the demolition of its previous office in Monrovia on August 23, 2025.
The committee is chaired by former House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, with Margibi County Senator Nathaniel McGill as Co-Chair and Eugene Lenn Nagbe serving as General Coordinator. Other members include Former Foreign Minister Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Madam Yvette Freeman, Mr. Quiwu Pepci Yeke, Dr. Marie Scott-Wilson, Madam Ruth Cooker Collins, and several senior partisans. The team has been mandated by former President George Weah, the party’s political leader, to deliver a new facility within one year.
The move follows a controversial government operation that led to the eviction and demolition of the CDC’s headquarters. The Liberia National Police and court officers carried out the action based on a writ of search and eviction issued by the Monrovia City Court. Authorities said the order was tied to a property dispute and a search for prohibited items.
The CDC, however, maintains that the demolition was politically motivated. In a previous statement, Weah described the action as a “failed mission to destroy the CDC,” while urging his supporters to remain calm.
Party officials say the rebuilding effort has already attracted financial pledges and goodwill from supporters. A bank account is expected to be opened to facilitate contributions and coordinate resources.
Meanwhile, CDC Chairman Janga Augustus Kowo is expected to convene a press conference to address issues arising from the demolition, including pending legal challenges before the courts.
The development has stirred debate across Liberia. Supporters of the ruling Unity Party argue that the action was lawful, while critics say it risks escalating political tension. As the legal process continues, the focus now turns to whether the CDC can meet its one-year timeline to rebuild its headquarters amid the ongoing controversy.
