Citizens of Ma Zoe Town lamented the difficult economic challenges and the disastrous road condition and expressed appreciation to Cummings as the first presidential candidate to visit them. They spoke of years of government’s neglect and the lack of a school and health facilities and made a special appeal and pledge to support the CPP Standard Bearer’s presidential bid in October.

In Kporkporken Town, the CPP Vice Standard Bearer Counsellor Brumskine cautioned citizens against electing the wrong leaders because of personal benefit or instant gratification.
Cllr. Brumskine said on October 10 every eligible voter will be left alone to vote, and it is therefore a demand on each to consciously choose the most competent candidate capable of transforming Liberia for the betterment of all Liberians.
She lamented the worsening economic conditions and the deplorable state of affairs and warned Liberians to focus on the bigger picture—the future of Liberia—and not vote based on temporary financial gain offered by selfish politicians.

Counsellor Brumskine said the election of Alexander Cummings as the next President on October 10 will be a turning point and the emergence of a new Liberia, with economic prosperity for all Liberians.
