Everyone's Talking: The Intrigue Behind Alexander B. Cummings' Press Release and Its Implications for Liberia's 2023 Elections





Everyone is talking about Alexander B. Cummings, a prominent figure in Liberian politics and a member of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), who recently made headlines with a press release that many believe is a political jab aimed at former Liberian Vice President Joseph Boakai. Cummings' statement, "The whole village will perish from hunger if we give the cutlass to an old man to make a farm simply because he has experience. Even though his experiences have never solved any problem whenever he is allowed to make the change," has ignited quite a conversation. 

 

As the 2023 Liberian presidential elections approach, tensions are running high between the potential candidates. In this blog post, we will play devil's advocate and explore the possible implications of Cummings' statement and how it might affect the dynamics within the CPP and the Liberian political landscape. 

 

On one hand, it is easy to interpret Cummings' statement as a critique of Boakai's age and his tenure as Vice President under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. The mention of an "old man" with experience who has failed to solve problems could be seen as a veiled reference to Boakai's political career. This interpretation suggests that Cummings may be questioning Boakai's ability to bring about meaningful change in Liberia, given his past record. 

 

However, playing devil's advocate, one could argue that Cummings' statement is more about promoting a fresh perspective in Liberian politics than directly targeting Boakai. Cummings, a successful businessperson, and former executive at Coca-Cola, brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the political arena. He may be emphasizing the need for innovative thinking and fresh ideas to tackle Liberia's complex challenges, rather than relying solely on the experience of seasoned politicians. 

 

In the 2023 elections, this statement could signal a rift within the CPP, as its members jockey for the presidential nomination. If Cummings and Boakai are indeed vying for the same position, their supporters within the CPP may find themselves divided, weakening the coalition's chances in the election. 

 

In conclusion, while it is tempting to read Alexander B. Cummings' press release as a direct jab at Joseph Boakai, it is essential to consider alternative interpretations and the broader implications for Liberia's 2023 presidential elections. As the race heats up, only time will tell how this statement will impact the political landscape and the future of Liberia.
