MONROVIA – Political Leader of the opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC), Alexander Cummings, has expressed willingness to collaborate with other political parties and institutions ahead of future elections, but emphasized that any alliance must be based on a common vision for Liberia rather than a mere quest for political power.
Speaking on Sky FM’s popular “50-50” program, Cummings said the ANC has always maintained an open stance toward collaboration and remains prepared to work with organizations that share its aspirations for national development.
“We have always been open to collaborate. We will collaborate differently. It is too early,” Cummings stated.
The ANC leader noted that Liberia’s political landscape extends beyond the country’s two dominant political parties, adding that his party is willing to engage a broad range of stakeholders.
“There are other political parties in the country besides the two big parties. We are open to collaboration with everybody,” he said.
However, Cummings stressed that any future coalition must be built on clearly defined principles and objectives rather than solely on efforts to gain political office.
“We are not just going to collaborate just because we want to take power. I am so clear that if we are going to go into collaboration, we have to be clear on the agenda,” he asserted.
The former presidential candidate further indicated that the ANC is prepared to work with any institution whose goals align with the party’s vision for Liberia.
“We are open to collaboration with any institution that is aligned with what we want for the country,” Cummings added.
His comments come amid growing discussions within Liberia’s opposition community about potential alliances and strategies ahead of future political contests.
While Cummings did not provide specifics regarding any ongoing negotiations, his remarks suggest that the ANC remains receptive to partnerships grounded in shared policy objectives and national interest.
Political observers say opposition collaboration could play a significant role in shaping Liberia’s political landscape in the years leading up to the next general elections.
