Monrovia, Liberia ~The opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC) has been hit by the resignation of two of its senior executives: the National Vice Chair for Finance and Investment, Mr. Fubbi F. A. Henries, and former National Youth Chairman, Mr. James P. Morris.
Mr. Henries confirmed his departure in a formal letter dated November 24, 2025, addressed to ANC Chairman Atty. Lafayette O. E. Gould. Citing violations of due process and dissatisfaction with the Party’s internal handling of disciplinary matters, the former finance executive said he was stepping down following the expiration of a six-month suspension imposed earlier this year.
Henries noted that he never received an official suspension letter and only learned of the action taken against him through media reports and the Party’s social media platforms ~ an experience he described as “highly disrespectful.” He also expressed concern over the Party’s stance on the removal of Representative Jonathan Fonati Koffa as Speaker of the House of Representatives, arguing that the ANC should have allowed its members to independently express views on national legislative matters that do not directly affect the Party.
“The leadership must recognize that partisans have the right to express their views on national issues,” Henries wrote, adding that the Legislature acted within its constitutional authority under Article 38.
Despite his criticisms, Henries emphasized that his decision was not personal and that he maintains respect for ANC officials and colleagues. He praised the Party’s political leader, Mr. Alexander B. Cummings, describing him as a man with “the right vision” who could serve the country well if elected President.
“At some point, we must all say goodbye whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Liberia First,” his letter concluded.
The resignation of James P. Morris, whose reasons were not immediately disclosed, adds to the internal turbulence facing the ANC as it prepares for the next phase of Liberia’s political cycle. Party officials have not yet issued an official response to the departures.
The dual resignations raise new questions about unity within the ANC and its readiness to maintain cohesion amid growing political pressures.
