Monrovia, Liberia – The Movement for Economic Empowerment’s internal strife after the presidential and legislative elections has been resolved by a six-count resolution adopted after a series of reconciliation meetings arranged by the national executive committee and some irate members of the party.
As you may remember, there was a crisis in the national executive committee between two factions: Ambassador Dee Maxwell Kemayah on one side and Jeremiah Paye and Mathew Shan on the other.
But the team headed by Messrs. The lawsuit that Paye and Shan had brought against Ambassador Kemayah before the National Elections Commission’s board of commissioners and dispute hearing officer has been dropped.
Jeremiah Paye, an executive member of MOVEE, stated, among other things, that the complaint against Ambassador Kamayah to NEC has been withdrawn and dismissed during a news conference in Paynesville on Monday, November 4, 2024.
According to Mr. Paye, an emergency national convention committee will be established to develop the agenda and activities for the third national convention, and Ambassador Kemayah will continue to serve as MOVEE’s political head.
The resolution asked for the creation of a special constitution review committee to prepare a new constitution and bi-laws for the MOVEE 2016 and submit it to the national convention for approval.
The resolution states that the national executive committee’s decision to call an emergency national convention of MOVEE is still in effect, pending approval of the request filed to the NEC.
Prince Mehn, the MOVEE’s National Chairman, reassured the party’s previously disgruntled members that everything was OK and thanked them for rejoining.
He asserted that the political head of MOVEE views each and every one of its members as his children and family, and that this should continue.
Jeremiah Paye and other resentful party members were removed a little more than six months ago for embarrassing the party by announcing their leadership and criticizing Ambassador Kemeyah in a news conference.
County chairpersons, women’s and youth leaders, and previous legislative candidates were among the members of the national executive committee that graced the news conference.
