Former Representative of Montserrado County District #8 Moses Acarous Gray has responded sharply to recent remarks linked to Senator Saah Joseph and Representative Thomas Fallah, reigniting debate within the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) over loyalty, influence, and internal politics.
Gray’s comments come at a time when the CDC is navigating internal disagreements and positioning ahead of future elections, with several senior members increasingly vocal about the party’s direction.
Speaking on the matter, Gray defended his long-standing role in the party’s early structure and insisted that some of its current leaders were brought into the CDC through his efforts.
“The CDC made men; men did not make the CDC. When Fallah came from the plank field and Saah Joseph came from the refugee camp, I, Acarous Gray, registered them as Assistant Secretaries of the CDC, and Former President George Weah paid US$500 each for their registration. Fallah will be fighting to retain his seat in Foya, where Nyumalin is challenging him. That is why Richard Koon and Fallah are advocating for an increase in legislative seats so that Richard Koon can avoid facing his countryman in an electoral contest. And tell Prince Toles that I will be right behind him in my stronghold.”
The remarks have quickly circulated within political circles, drawing attention to both the tone and the personal nature of Gray’s statements.
Neither Saah Joseph nor Thomas Fallah has publicly responded to the claims as of this report, but both remain key figures within the CDC’s legislative caucus.
Attention is also turning to the political contest in Foya, where Fallah is expected to face a challenge from Nyumalin in what is shaping up to be a closely watched race.
Gray further referenced Representative Richard Koon, suggesting that discussions around increasing legislative seats are tied to strategic efforts by incumbents to avoid direct electoral competition in certain districts.
The comments have added to growing conversations about internal rivalry within the CDC, as members continue to assert influence and prepare for upcoming political battles.
Gray also mentioned Prince Toles, signaling that he remains politically active and firmly rooted in his base.
Within the party, reactions have been mixed, with some members describing the remarks as unnecessary internal exposure, while others see them as part of long-standing tensions that have been building beneath the surface.
Party officials have yet to issue a formal statement, but the exchange highlights the challenges the CDC faces in maintaining unity as political competition intensifies.
