MDR National Youth Congress

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction National Youth Congress (MDRNYC) extends its sincere congratulations to the President of the Republic of Liberia on the nomination of Mr. Jonathan K. Weedor as Chairman of the National Elections Commission (NEC).

We believe this nomination represents a significant step toward strengthening Liberia’s democratic institutions. The credibility of electoral bodies remains central to public trust and the legitimacy of governance. Mr. Weedor’s professional background and demonstrated commitment to public service position him to uphold the principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in the electoral process.

The MDR emphasizes that democratic resilience depends on strong institutions and strict adherence to constitutional order. The NEC must continue to operate as an impartial body, ensuring that all electoral processes are conducted with integrity and in full compliance with the law.

We call on all stakeholders—including political parties, civil society, and citizens—to support the confirmation process in a spirit of unity and national responsibility. Respect for the Constitution and the rule of law must remain paramount.

At this critical moment in Liberia’s development, the MDR urges all actors to reject divisive rhetoric and political opportunism. Sustained national progress requires cooperation, constructive dialogue, and a shared commitment to peace and stability.

The MDRNYC reaffirms its unwavering dedication to promoting democratic values, institutional integrity, and inclusive development for all Liberians.

“The Love of Liberty Unites Us.”

During the engagement, the Minister emphasized that “The Youth Agenda will be driven by the youth."

The meeting further highlighted a shared commitment to work collaboratively in designing and implementing programs that will benefit young people irrespective of political affiliation.

The Minister stressed that young people must not only be seen as partners during election periods but must remain actively involved in decision-making processes that directly affect their lives. The Ministry of Youth and Sports reaffirmed its commitment to providing an inclusive platform to ensure sustained youth participation in governance.

Additionally, the Minister noted that one final stakeholder group youth in entrepreneurship will be engaged to conclude the first phase of consultations within the youth sector. The Ministry has already met with leaders of statutory youth organizations and representatives from the creative industry. The next phase of engagements will focus on the sports sector.
