Former Foreign Minister Dee-Maxwell Kemayah has strongly rejected growing social media reports suggesting that former President George Weah intends to support Alternative National Congress (ANC) Political Leader Alexander Cummings for president, describing the claims as false, misleading, and politically motivated.
Speaking Tuesday in an interview in Monrovia, Amb. Kemayah, who also serves as senior advisor to former President Weah, said the reports circulating online alleging that the former President will not contest the 2029 presidential elections are completely inaccurate and should be disregarded by the public.
He clarified that former President Weah remains firmly engaged in national politics and will once again contest the 2029 presidential election as the standard bearer of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC). Kemayah expressed confidence that the CDC is strategically positioned to regain political power from the ruling Unity Party in the next general elections.
According to him, the former President has not only maintained his political base but continues to strengthen consultations within the CDC and a broader political landscape in preparation for the 2029 elections.
Kemayah further emphasized that although former President Weah shares cordial and respectful relations with ANC Political Leader Alexander Cummings, adding, there has been no discussions, agreements, or political arrangements suggesting any endorsement or collaboration between the two political figures.
He noted that any such claims are speculative and risk creating unnecessary political tension and public misunderstanding, especially as parties begin positioning themselves ahead of future electoral contests.
At the same time, Keyamah disclosed that former President Weah continues to engage in consultations with various opposition stakeholders across the country. He said these engagements are part of broader efforts aimed at promoting dialogue, strengthening political cohesion, and encouraging unity among opposition parties.
However, he stressed that these consultations should not be misinterpreted as endorsement agreements or political mergers, but rather as routine political engagement consistent with democratic practice.
Kemayah reiterated that the CDC remains focused on rebuilding its structure, mobilizing its support base, and presenting what he described as a stronger alternative agenda for governance in Liberia ahead of the 2029 elections.
He urged the public to rely on verified information and official communication channels, warning that misinformation on social media could distort political narratives and mislead citizens about the intentions of national political actors.
