Press Release - CDC Has No Rest Or Black List

Monrovia, Liberia: January 16, 2018 - The attention of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has been drawn to widespread reports on social and other media referencing a So-called “Black List” or “Rest List” from the CDC.

The incoming ruling party wishes to categorically deny, refute and disassociates itself from the existence of any List targeting any group of Liberians for discrimination in any form or manner.

President-Elect, His Excellency, George Manneh Weah and VP Elect Her Excellency Jewel Howard Taylor are committed to a peaceful and prosperous Liberia with equal opportunities for all Liberians as provided for, under the 1986 Liberian constitution.

The CDC cautions all its partisans, collaborating political parties and Liberians, in general, to refrain from any acts insinuating political targeting after a highly competitive election.

We wish to assure the Liberian people and all political actors and activists that the CDC led government will not engage in any act to undermine the democratic gains of Liberia.
