He also urged them to summon courage because the party is on the path to changing the nation.
Chairman Morlu informed the gathering that the party has purchased a half lot of Land for the late Morris Kromah family who was allegedly shot and killed at the party headquarters in Congo Town on November 7, 2011 saga; during the Administration of former Liberian President, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
