BOMI COUNTY, Liberia — Representative J. Varney of Bomi County District #1 has publicly declared that he will not support Senator Edwin Snowe in the 2029 elections, accusing the senator of making remarks that disrespect traditional parents and deepen divisions among the people of the county.
Rep. Varney said his decision is rooted in what he described as Snowe’s controversial comments about property ownership in Bomi County, which he believes were disrespectful to the county’s parents and traditional authorities.
“The first thing that I should tell you is that I will not support Senator Edwin Snowe,” Varney declared.
Explaining his position, the district lawmaker referenced a statement allegedly made by Snowe concerning his properties in Bomi County, in which the senator reportedly said that none of the children of the people criticizing him owned those properties.
Varney argued that the statement went beyond a disagreement with younger people and was an affront to their parents.
“Being a traditional man, I think that statement was not to us; it was to our parents,” he said.
The representative also questioned Snowe’s role in promoting unity within the county, arguing that, as a senator, he has a responsibility to bring people together rather than make statements that could deepen existing divisions.
According to Varney, comments made by Snowe during radio appearances have contributed to confusion and division among residents.
“As a Senator of that county, he’s under obligation to bring the people together. But every time he goes on air, on his radio station, he says things that bring division and create confusion among the people,” Varney stated.
He maintained that his position on the senator’s political future was firm, reiterating that he would not support Snowe in 2029.
Varney’s declaration signals a public disagreement between the two Bomi County lawmakers as political discussions surrounding the 2029 elections continue.
However, the specific circumstances surrounding Snowe’s alleged remarks were not independently established in the information available for this report. The senator’s response to Varney’s allegations was also not included.
