The political leader of the Oscar Cooper Experience, Senator Oscar A. Cooper is calling on contending political parties to the results of the just ended October 10 polls to abandon their legal pursuit against the National Elections Commission (NEC).
The tough-talking Margibi County Senator, who was one of the contestants during the October 10th polls as an independent Presidential candidate, decried that the political impasse in the country as the creation of unbearable hardship for Liberians.
He also urged leaders of Liberty Party (LP), Unity Party (UP), Alternative National Congress (ANC), All Liberian Party (ALP) and all other institutions to realize the need to put Liberia first by unconditionally accepting to go to the runoff in the interest of the people and country.
“I want to urge especially the Liberty and Unity Parties that in the interest of our country, let’s accept to go to the runoff in order to keep the democracy and stability of our country moving forward. As we are in this holding pattern, investors are going run away from our country,” Senator Cooper appealed.
Senator Cooper further stated that the political stalemate has caused uncertainty in the country, thus forcing industrial institutions and local businesses in the country to hold on to their finances.
“The situation has plunged an already devastated economy into a difficult state, affecting mostly ordinary Liberians through the cost of living”. Senator Cooper noted.
It can be Senator Cooper, who was recently appointed by the Liberian Senate as a member on a seven-member Special Committee headed by Honorable Armah Zolu Jallah, President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, on behalf of the Liberian Senate appealed to parties protesting the results of the elections to amicably resolve the stalemate in the name of the peace and stability.
