Alvin C. Wesseh, Former Assistant Minister for Statistics and Research at the Ministry of Agriculture and now Vice Chair for Operations of the former ruling Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), has intensified calls for stronger disciplinary action within the party, urging the National Executive Committee (NEC) to expel Kanio Bai Gbala over what he describes as troubling signs of disloyalty.
Wesseh’s demand mirrors earlier actions taken against former stalwarts Thomas P. Fallah and Saah H. Joseph, whose expulsions he referenced as necessary steps to preserve the party’s integrity. He warned that failing to act swiftly and decisively could push the movement toward what he termed “Plan B,” a stance that would leave no room for internal betrayal.
In a sharply worded statement, Wesseh accused Gbala of placing personal interest above party commitment, cautioning CDCians to remain alert to individuals who he believes are attempting to exploit the movement’s long-standing grassroots fighters. He emphasized that the party must protect those who have stood firmly with the CDC through difficult periods.
Wesseh’s comments come amid heightening internal unease and reflect a broader struggle within the CDC over loyalty, direction, and identity. Some political observers view his remarks as a direct challenge to the party’s leadership structure, arguing that longstanding supporters feel increasingly marginalized while former adversaries gain influence.
As Liberia’s political terrain continues to evolve, Wesseh believes his call serves as a reminder of the growing demand for internal coherence and stronger leadership signals within the former ruling CDC. He stressed that the confidence, sacrifices, and voices of the party’s base remain essential to its stability and future direction.
