Sen. McGill Declares CDC’s Comeback in 2029 --Calls on Pres. Boakai to Prepare to Accept Future Election Results

Senator Nathaniel F. McGill has issued a bold and uncompromising message to supporters of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), declaring that the party is firmly on track to return to power in 2029. Addressing thousands of enthusiastic partisans at the CDC One Partisan One Block fundraising rally in Margibi County, Senator McGill expressed unwavering confidence in the CDC’s resurgence and called on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and the ruling Unity Party (UP) to respect the will of Liberians when the next electoral cycle arrives. 

Senator McGill emphasized that the CDC remains the strongest political force in the country, despite recent attempts by the Unity Party to project itself as the preferred choice of the Liberian people. He urged the ruling establishment to be prepared to accept the results of the 2029 elections, stating that the CDC’s momentum and growing support across the country signal an inevitable victory. “We are returning to power in 2029, and as such, President Boakai and his team must be ready to accept the results,” McGill declared. “Liberians know where they stand. 

The CDC remains the people’s movement, and no amount of political propaganda can change that.” In one of the most striking moments of his speech, Senator McGill issued a direct challenge to President Boakai and Vice President Jeremiah Koung, urging them to resign their positions and face a fresh nationwide election against former President George M. Weah if they are confident in their performance and public support. “If they truly believe they have done well and that the CDC has lost popularity, then let them resign today and go back for a new election,” McGill stated to thunderous applause. 

“Let President Boakai and Vice President Koung test their strength at the ballot box. I challenge them to do it.” McGill’s remarks come amid heightened political tension as the Unity Party celebrates recent defections from opposition ranks, which the administration has promoted as evidence of renewed public trust. The senator dismissed these political shifts as superficial, asserting that only the 2029 elections will reveal the true sentiments of Liberians. Political analysts, however, view McGill’s call for resignation as symbolic, noting that the Boakai administration’s tenure is constitutionally protected. 

Yet, they acknowledge that his statements reflect the CDC’s strategy to keep its base energized and its narrative sharply defined as the country edges closer to another electoral contest. Unity Party supporters have dismissed the call for resignation as theatrical and irresponsible, arguing that the administration was duly elected and must be allowed to govern without distractions aimed at undermining Liberia’s democratic stability. They maintain that the CDC’s rhetoric is intended to create political chaos rather than constructive national dialogue. 

Meanwhile, CDC partisans see McGill’s statements as a rallying cry reaffirming their belief that the party remains deeply connected to the Liberian people. They argue that the ruling establishment is out of touch with the harsh realities ordinary citizens face. As the Unity Party prepares for its December 6 “Homecoming” celebration, Senator McGill’s remarks have reignited national discussions on governance, legitimacy, and the enduring struggle for political balance in Liberia.
