Verity News has received reports of the untimely demise of Former Presidential Candidate Macdonald A. Wento.
While the cause of his death remains undisclosed, sources indicate that he has not been in the country at the time of his passing.
Wento, once the Political Leader of the United People’s Party and later a prominent businessman, leaves behind a legacy that has left a significant mark on Liberia’s political and business landscape.
In the 2017 presidential election, Wento and his running mate, John Bleah, secured 8,968 votes, amounting to 0.58% of the total valid votes. Despite his efforts, Wento landed in 12th place out of 21 presidential candidates vying for Liberia’s highest office.
Since his participation in the 2017 elections, Wento had largely faded from the political spotlight, with minimal news coverage of his activities.
As the nation mourns the loss of a notable figure, Verity News remains committed to providing updates on this developing story. Stay tuned for further details.
