Pres. Debate Mere-political show -Oscar Cooper blast DDC Planned Debate
Pres. Debate Mere-political show -Oscar Cooper blast DDC Planned Debate
Outspoken Margibi County Senator, now Independent Presidential candidate “ Oscar Cooper Xperience” Senator Oscar A. Cooper has blasted planned Deepening Democracy Coalition (DDC), debate as a mere-political show to favor a few so-called political elites.
Senator Cooper, stated that the debatewhich scheduled to be held on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at the Paynesville City Hall outside of Monrovia, offers nothing significant to the body politics of Liberia when its objectives are exclusion and favoritism.
“ Our country is on critical path to transition and all parties regardless of big or small are very significant to participation and most be afforded those opportunities as contained in the process of free, fair and transparent elections but when some excluded especially twice for national debate than it poses a issues of side-taking”. Cooper asserted.
The Deepening Democracy Coalition (DDC) is the organizers of the first Presidential debate that served invitation to the first top six candidates including the Dr. Joseph Mills Jones of the Movement for Economic Empowerment (MOVEE). Senator George MennehWeah of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Vice President Joseph Boakai of the governing Unity Party (UP), Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine of Liberty Party (LP), Alexander Benedict Cummings of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), and Benoni Wilfred Urey of the All Liberia Party (ALP).
Independent Presidential candidate , stated further termed action to exclude him and other presidential candidates from the public interaction with the selection of those previously invited to the first round of the Presidential debateby the convenersas unfair and undemocratic.
In a disappointed mood Senator Cooper stated that each that was approved by the National Elections Commission to contest must be given the platform to tell the people of Liberia their respective party agenda for transformation, but regrettably a few had been selected
“Every candidate that has been approved by the National Elections Commission to contest must have the opportunity to tell the people of Liberia their platform, but if you select a few then it is not democratic.”
“So for that reason, we are saying that this particular debate is not like John Kollie debate, John Kollie invites everybody that is fairness, that is transparency because the people of this country, whether you get money or you don’t get money, the people must have the opportunity to listen to their candidates to see what their platforms or visions they have for this country” Senator Cooper noted.
He asserted that the selection of few candidates allegedly on the basic of wealth and or being considered as top candidates in the elections is intended to deny the Liberian people the opportunity to listen to all the Presidential candidates contesting in the October 10, 2017 representatives and Presidential elections.
Senator Cooper wonders why the Deepening Democracy Coalition (DDC), chose to exclude him despite his status as a sitting Liberian senator that was elected with 36 thousands votes as compare to some of those selected for the debate that have no history of obtaining elective position in Liberia.
The Margibi tough-talking Senator boasted that he is more prepared and has Margibians as his constituent rather than some of the selected Presidential candidates invited for the debate.
Attorney LamiiKpargoi, the Executive Director of the Deepening Democracy Coalition or DDC has announced the next and perhaps the final round of the Presidential debate scheduled to be held on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at the Paynesville City Hall outside of Monrovia.
