IPNEWS: Liberia’s Deputy Speaker and Grand Kru County District #2 Representative, Cllr. Jonathan Fonati Koffa has positively reiterated his overwhelming reelection on Tuesday, October 10, and is poised to make history as the first re-elected representative of District #2, Grand Kru County,
During Friday’s endorsement ceremonies from the people of Doeswen and the Nimba Community in Grand Kru County, Cllr.

The Deputy Speaker seems to be 99.9% confident of his reelection and there are reports that the 2023 campaign launch of Cllr.
